By running journalctl, I got the following:

ata1.00 is your first hard disk
Thanks, Reindl. I only have one hard disk in my computer, which runs only Fedora 18.
As a consequence of this problem, I cannot boot my computer. This problem occurred after the last updates, which included selinux-policy.
i doubt that HARDWARE errors have anything to do with selinux-policy
Thanks again, Reindl. By using smartctl, I get a message similar to the one below:
Error 18 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 12126 hours (505 days + 6 hours) When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.
