Centos – Boot hanging on SELINUX

centosselinuxxen

SELINUX is disabled on this this machine (which is a CentOS instance under Xen) but the boot process gets to a point that mentions an audit and SELINUX and then hangs. Is it ever going to come back?

Registering block device major 202
 xvda: xvda1 xvda2
 xvdb: unknown partition table
device-mapper: ioctl: 4.11.0-ioctl (2006-09-14) initialised: dm-devel@redhat.com
kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
SELinux:  Disabled at runtime.
SELinux:  Unregistering netfilter hooks
audit(1319018877.561:2): selinux=0 auid=4294967295

Or should I be paying more attention to the "unknown partition table" message?

A quick Google search of the "SELinux: Disabled at runtime." line came up with this similar problem.

Looks like in that case, the failure stemmed from the /etc/fstab file telling the system to mount a disk which doesn't exist. The "unknown partition table" message that you highlighted certainly seems to suggest that this might be the case here too.
