Have you tried booting after adding "selinux=0" to the linux line in grub?

"selinux=0" works I'll do the .autorelabel

.autorelabel doesn't get everything apparently. From a texmode boot as user, startx for the graphical desktop fails saying it can't find a screen. The ati 5450 has on a minimal xinitrc with no screen paragraphs. However, from root it works.

Put selinux=0 in the kernal command in grub allows user to dos startx but there are I/O problems with the mouse.

All the permissions look as expected


Well, in this case I'd then use the "ausearch" command to find the AVC which happened at the time of failure. You can use the --start and --end parameters to narrow down the time frame of the search.  Check the man
page for the format of that parameter.

Could be of value in searching for the problem.

Didn't look too promising.  Started over with the --selinux option on tar and all is well.  Have to look for the the discussion of --selinux on the tar documents, hadn't seen it and the traditional use of tar for system backup would be useless without it.
