If it's a selinux problem, boot the distribution, mount the
partition, and edit /etc/selinux/config. Change to
SELINUX=permissive
then reboot. Hopefully that will get you logged in so you can find
the problem. I suggest a re-label.
The other problem is that when I try to update the distribution,
it is not recognize as a fedora distribution! I can boot it but not
login!
