Thanks for the warning,

I have now removed kernel version 2054 before it can drive me nuts -- I can just imagine the hours of frustration if I had rebooted yesterday. A few more days of waiting isn't going to hurt. I have had generally few frustrations with Fedora outside of multimedia, persistent sound problems in FC3, and SELinux messing up the file systems for use with some other distros. Does anybody know if there is a way to turn off SELinux *and* clean up the filesystems?

In the boot menu, append at the end of the kernel line like so...

title Fedora Core 3 disk0...
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-... rhgb quiet selinux=0

This will turn off selinux.

If you want to re-label the filesystem contexts manually so selinux will
not burp the next time, you can use the command "fixfiles". Check the
man page for options.

Or just run system-config-securitylevel, press "disable selinux" and reboot.
