PSA: Scaleway start1-xs fc28

Do not do a dnf upgrade on the scaleway start1-xs if running from the FC28 minimal image.
It will render it unbootable , I thought maybe it was something I'd installed so I started a brand new instance and ran dnf upgrade followed by reboot and it still killed it.

From those "avc: denied" and "permissive 0" I'd suggest you to double-check your SELinux
Indeed it looks like SElinux is buggered but that's a brand new deploy and if it buggers Selinux with a simple update either fedora have a faulty package or the image is broken.
Also once it's in that state I don't think there's an easy way to fix it short of imaging the SSD over to another instance as a secondary disk as the console doesn't allow input and there are no options I can find for an alternate boot image/boot script to get a rescue prompt.
I don't actually care about any of the FC28 instances I'd spun up they were for testing lizardfs so had nothing of value on them.
Edit:
It's possible to netboot it but the option doesn't show unless the instance is powered down, it will boot off a netboot image.
Well scaleways support was rather lacking, they just claimed not to offer software assistance and essentially it was a case if the image booted when it was deployed that was good enough for them.
So yes I can get the thing booting again, but argue I shouldn't have to, I wouldn't consider expecting the provided installation to update cleanly to be unreasonable, given it's a brand new deployment and not been messed with.
I'd say Scaleway is going downhill, but have they ever been "up hill"? Not really.
They promised two things "in the coming weeks": more images for the XS, and local boot on ARM. That was many months ago, maybe a year by now. Nobody cares. It's like a dead abandoned ship, traveling by inertia on its own.
Not to mention the IPv6 deployment scheme remains a disaster (a dynamic /128), that was also promised to be improved, with no actual changes.
Only used it because I wanted some additional nodes online for something I was trying out and I already had an account but yes it seems they've not really kept up with the competition
