I'm not getting any of the kernels installed to boot without adding a selinux=0 to the boot process. I don't think this is kernel related, but something to do with selinux. The kernels get to the point where X starts and the cursor appears and then nothing else happens. Dropping to the vt (CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE) shows the hardware initialized, and then no further progress.
I got past the problem with SELinux by issuing autorelabel at reboot via grub. After the relabeling, things seem normal without reverting to an earlier policy.
I was having same problems, and I did two things this morning.
1 - I noticed during the rawhide install I did few days ago, that a selinux file was not included in the /etc/sysconfig/ dir. So I copied the /etc/selinux/config file over to it (which mine is disabled).
2 - I did a rawhide update as of this morning without having to issue any selinux=0 or autorelabels or whatever (which I never did those in the previous couple kernels neither).
System seemed to boot up fine this morning though.
My system probably would have booted successfully without relabeling the system. I guess pam needing to have processes reloaded was reason for my major failure regarding login denials and the actual need for a system reboot.
With all of the denials, I assumed SELinux to be the culpret. Relabeling probably helped things out a bit anyway.
Getting things right for making bug reports with so man variables on a rapidly changing mix of rpms is a bit hard to pinpoint the actual culpret for system abnormalities.
