The system that I tested the root functionality on had SELinux off. I am 
http downloading a fresh install to see if the sound test works on first 
try and now to see if the scanner works as a normal user and as root. At 
least the scanner issue gives more to test than just the sound test on 
first boot.

The system that I'm fresh installing on was my SELinux test machine that 
had many multiple package versions and would only allow X to work up to 
a certain kernel version. SELinux was active with the later kernel 
version but not active with the earlier kernel version.

A link to the scanner bugzilla report will be helpful. Scanning seems to 
be the only non-SELinux related problem with the current rawhide mix, 
barring incomplete content on some mirrors. (No glibc packages on 
mirror, but in header)
