I dont know if this helps or not but looks like your problems has the same cause - so this might give you some more insight.....
When enabling SELinux on a Xen domU instance be sure to include an /etc/fstab entry for your root file system. Programs like fixfiles appear to rely on the output from the mount <http://packages.debian.org/etch/mount>command to report the file system type. Without an /etc/fstab entry mount will report the file system type as rootfs and fixfiles will fail silently. This will prevent the most common file system relabeling operations like touch /.autorelabel and fixfiles relabel / from working properly. A simple /etc/fstab for a Xen domU root file system with only one partition looks something like: # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hda / ext3 defaults 0 2 Courtest : http://wiki.debian.org/SELinux/Setup (Section 5.2) Please let me know if this works.
