Did you turn on audit=1 on your grub/lilo command line? If you,
you should have "avc denied" lines in /var/log/messages. Grep those
lines out of /var/log/messgaes, put them into a file, and file a
wishlist bug on the selinux policy you are using, with a short note on
what you were trying to do, and the output of id -Z as root.
This will help getting the issue fixed.
