Why do you think it's a SE Linux issue?
Does the problem go away if you boot in permissive mode?
Well, I found a workaround.. it was to remove the postmaster service
in rc.3.
It seems that "postalias aliases" or something will not finish, it just
hangs forever. Thats why I couldn't get to the console. It also hangs
if run manually as root with sysadmin rights.
The reason for thinking it is a selinux problem is because we have not
had this problem with the exact same install and post-install script on
~15 other computers not running selinux. I have no hard evidence.
