SELinux blocks access to device files when booting 2.6.32.* kernels (fc12)

I cannot boot any 2.6.32.* kernel, right after udev is started I see
console messages like
ln: creating symbolic link "/dev/fd": Permission denied
and then booting is very slow and mounting the local file systems
fails. I believe it is a problem with SELinux because when I add
enforcing=0 to the kernel parameters in grub, it boots with no
problems, although I see many console messages like
udev-work[678]: setfilecon /dev/fd failed: Operation not supported
I also have a 2.6.31.12-174.2.22 kernel installed which I can boot and
which doesn't have this problem. But every newer kernel that I
installed does not boot when SELinux is enforcing.
I relabeled the filesystem, but it didn't help.
Any ideas what I can try next?
