Unresponsive programs after upgrade to selinux-policy-targeted. Unable to boot. Booted with selinux=0 (yes, I know I'm supposed to use enforcing=0 but I didn't know that at the time) and got back in. Reinstalled the old targeted policy and it rebooted. So I went through all the steps again, including relabelling with the new policy, to no avail. I can only imagine the panic for someone who didn't even know about selinux=0... let alone the *correct* way to fix it. Nice... I wonder how many people are sitting there right now with (what they believe are) unbootable boxes after having accepted a simple upgrade.
