So you can login on the console with the same username and password?

Boot with SELinux disabled to see if it is the culprit. When the grub
prompt appears, hit a key to get to the menu. Then select your kernel
and hit "e" to edit. Select the line starting with "kernel=...", hit "e"
again and add "enforcing=0" to the end of the line. Then press "b" to
boot.

If it is a SELinux Problem, please tell me what version of
selinux-policy is installed.
