My gut tells me the SELinux re-label either never finished or never started. The 4 lines that I put into my most recent post came up in under 2 minutes after the grub menu disappeared, and I never saw any hint of output from a SELinux relabelling. So when I try what Ed and Joe suggest, should I also add "selinux=0" to the linux line? And how long should I wait before assuming something is stuck in a loop, frozen, etc. and do a hard reset?
Have you removed rhgb and quiet from the kernel line, so you can see what your computer is doing as it boots up?
If you can get the computer to boot up, perhaps doing another reboot with selinux=0 to see if that helps, you can manually schedule a relabel.
touch /.autorelabel
Then reboot. When your system sees that file, it does a relabel, then removes it when the job is done.
For what it's worth, I think it's a ridiculously silly idea to hide the boot processes, by default, on an experimental OS that's always going through changes. Leave that kind of dopeyness to fixed installations.
