8 1. Try to add
9
10 CONFIG_RSBAC_DEBUG=y
11
12 to you kernel config - will give you more details on rsbac work
13
14 2. You can boot with non-rsbac kernel and delete all rsbac.dat/ dirs
15 from ALL partitions. This will force rsbac to start from scratch,
16 so if there is problems from previous versions they will gone
17
18 3. Try to disable PaX, RSBAC, both and see when your system hangs.
19
20 4. Compile vanilla kernel with RSBAC only, so no other patches included
21 to be sure it's the RSBAC problem (there was some XFS problems with
22 2.6.7 vanilla for example, also your grsec [pax included in it]
23 not working)
24
25 5. You can try ebuilds from http://dev.gentoo.org/~zhware/rsbac/v1.2.3/
26 they have newer PaX than official sources
27
28 And one advice: maybe better to stay with 2.4 kernels, specially if it
29 is a server. The RSBAC is binary compatible for 2.4 and 2.6 branches
30 so later (when 2.6 become more stable) you can switch.
