I used: [rbu, a rsync-based backup tool,by Vincent Stemen]
I have used this many times in the past few years,
but I have no idea as to how it treats security labels.

using enforcing=0 on kernel line first actually
allowed me a console login!
the first time I have been able to get this far on sdc7.
But still no graphical login.

did
"touch /.autorelabel and reboot"

I think I had to hit power button to get me out of the hung "reboot".
Then on a fresh boot, got the relabeling message,
but shortly thereafter gobs of errors
something like:
   I/O error  dev sdc, sector ....
   Buffer I/O error on device sdc7, logical block .....

relabeling did not finish.

powered off, retried, same thing.

Is it worth retrying with "selinux=0" ?

selinux=0 might get me beyond some of the SELinux messages seeing now
in /mnt/sdc7/var/log/messages
on the enforcing=0 relabel attempt:
