I got past the kernel panic by setting the kernel parameter

When I boot normally, I now get an unending stream of the following
error message:
audit(1081178872.934:0): avc: denied { write } for pid=1063
exe=/sbin/klogd_name=log dev=hda2 ino=762650

This looks like you have a mislabeled file, perhaps caused by the kernel

You will probably need a relabel.
