So what actually is the magic incantation that will make this work?

touch /.autorelabel
reboot
edit grub command line, appending "enforcing=0"
continue booting
wait

SELinux must be active but not enforcing for it to relabel.

Ah, that might explain some of it, I thought it had to be disabled.

I've now done an init 1, and invoked that command, which did take a
while, 10 minutes or so.
Then I re-enabled selinux and rebooted.   Got huge amount of those
warnings, 2-3 times more than before.  And I spotted this near the end
of the dmesg:
May  4 02:49:09 diablo kernel: md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
May  4 02:49:09 diablo kernel: md: autorun ...
May  4 02:49:10 diablo kernel: md: ... autorun DONE.

audit(1146799877.012:325): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=2528
comm="restorecon" name="config" dev=hda5 ino=12898524
scontext=root:system_r:re
storecon_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 tclass=file

So I tried, in runlevel 3, restorecon -n /, and got this:
audit(1146799877.012:325): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=2528
comm="restorecon" name="config" dev=hda5 ino=12898524
scontext=root:system_r:re
storecon_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 tclass=file

So whats wrong, and how did I arrive at this condition?

In permissive mode, AVC denials will still be logged, but they have no force.

Thanks for the patience, I appreciate it.

Thanks.
