[rsbac] Main Menu: Selection Error!

[A.P.R. Gelissen]

It doesn't matter which menu item I select, since all the items give the
same error. While booting the kernel I did notice a strange message, that
might be the problem of all this. I will try to compile a new kernel to see
if it works then. Should it be helpfull, I included the error message below.
I can send the System.map if needed.
