Still happening.  Last two lines of screen display:

Enforcing mode requested, no policy loaded, Halting now.
Kernel panic: attempted to kill init

This is with SysVinit-2.85-22
Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2004-03-29 03:50:58 UTC 
Please attach /etc/sysconfig/selinux, thanks!
Comment 5 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2004-03-29 10:37:20 UTC 
[root@tembo sysconfig]# cat selinux
SELINUX=enforcing
[root@tembo sysconfig]#
Comment 6 G.Wolfe Woodbury 2004-04-07 00:55:48 UTC 
Under enforcing mode kernel-2.6.4-1.305, policy-1.9.2-12 and
SysVinit-2.85-23 this problem does not occur.

Will close bug with RAWHIDE status.
