Subject: Re: dracut: ordering of modules

Hi Dan

i confirm this issue happens in a Fedora 16 system with the
selinux-policy package installed.

The selinux dracut module tries to load the policy but returns
with the error below. After switching root, the policy is
successfully loaded by Systemd.

Thanks

Roberto Sassu
