something that happened to work here: reboot with SELinux enabled in
permissive mode. Pay attention to the default kernel setting, to the
kernel option and to the option on /etc/selinux/config (this last
defaults to enforcing and makes init to halt on the boot sequence;
then it need to be changed to permissive)
