Well I rebooted using enforcing=0 (rather than selinux=0) successfully.
I then did the following:
su -
rpm -ev selinux-policy-targeted selinux-policy-targeted-sources
rm -fR /etc/selinux/targeted/
rpm -ivh /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-3.9.noarch.rpm /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/selinux-policy-targeted-sources-1.17.30-3.9.noarch.rpm
touch /.autorelabel
and everything worked fine. Thanks Paul, Alexander and Stephen.
Once I was confident that I could easily revert back to a working
system, I thought I would try the updated 1.17.30-3.13 packages again.
So I removed the cached versions of the packages, downloaded them
manually, and then repeated the steps above so that instead of upgrading
the packages I did a completely clean install of them. This time the
system didn't become unstable but again I couldn't reboot, for exactly
the same reason as before. I don't know why only I seem to be suffering
from this problem, but I've bugzillaed it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161834
Thanks again for the help.
Best, Darren
