[Qemu-discuss] MOUNT kernel with selinix=0 Problem

[Saptarshi Sen]

Hi 

I am trying to mount a root file system (with selniux enforced )with the following command line :

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -hda root_fs_slack8.1 -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.i686 selinux=0 -initrd initramfs-2.6.32-71.el6.i686.img -append "root=/dev/sda"
 
I get the following error :
qemu-system-x86_64: -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.i686: drive with bus=0, unit=0 (index=0) exist

This vmlinuz is the same kernel which I am currently running as host.

if I remove "selinux=0", the error goes away. 

I want tot boot the system but because of selinux on in the rootfs, dracut is not able to continue ?

Any help 1) with the command line and 2) the reason is apprreciated.
