Thanks, Joe. I do not know why it tries to login as root -- my installation is merely a F18 clean installation. I strongly believe that the problem I am experiencing is being caused by the new selinux update. Is there some way of disabling selinux in the emergency mode and getting the machine booting without selinux active?
