VM machine failed to start with error "failed to load selinux policy freezing "

 

I sometimes see this issue where my VM machine fails to start and I just see the below screen.

and when I press 'escape' key, I can see below error.

Fix/ Workaround:

Restart the vm machine and press 'e' button at the start screen and add "selinux=0' as below

Once you add it, press 'Ctrl+x' and the VM should start without any issues.

Permanent Fix is to add/change 'selinux=disabled' in the file,  /etc/selinux/config and reboot the server.

Thanks
