Did you try setting it to enabled and then to permissive?  I seem to remember that when you turn SELInux back on, it has to reindex or something.  Maybe you have to go to enabled first before permissive to get it to do that.  Then again, my memory could just be haywire.

Hi!

I encountered the same problem, and I found this bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835100

reported by Ofer Schreiber.

So it is not intended.

I do have another problem, related to this,though!

 I can't set my SELinux to permissive...? In the /etc/selinux/conf file, I change and put in permissive, save the file and reboot. When the system starts sestatus reports disabled...? I tried this a couple of times, and I don't know why it's sort of stuck there...

Idea's...?

regards Johan

Ärende: [Users] ovirt 3.1 engine install fails - fedora 17 with selinux disabled

Hi

Thanks to all for the great work getting 3.1 out the door,  3.0 is working
well for us and looking forward to playing with all the new features.

At the moment, am having a small problem during initial engine setup where
it fails if selinux is configured as "disabled" - is this intended
behaviour?

- selinux disabled
- reports nfs domain setup as failed

[root@ovirt-m-2 ~]# engine-setup
--answer-file=ovirt-answers.ovirt-m-2.shazamteam.com

-- snip-----

Configuring the Default ISO Domain...                 [ ERROR ]

-- snip

[root@ovirt-m-2 ~]# engine-cleanup

- After setting CONFIG_NFS=no, in the answer file; it gives an explicit
error about selinux during the HTTPD phase (OVERRIDE_HTTPD_CONFIG=yes)

[root@ovirt-m-2 ~]# engine-setup
--answer-file=ovirt-answers.ovirt-m-2.shazamteam.com

-- snip ----

Handling HTTPD...                                     [ ERROR ]
Failed to enable SELinux boolean

-- snip -----

- set selinux to permissive and reboot
- install succeeds (OVERRIDE_HTTPD_CONFIG=yes, CONFIG_NFS=yes)

Cheers,
Dave
