Setting selinux=0 on kernel line in grub made it work in F7t1.  I do run
FC6 with selinux disabled, so that is undoubtedly why it works there.

I tried this to no avail, then set selinux=0 on command line to get it
to work, so I now know it will work if I can get it to behave with
selinux enabled.  Could not find a way in the F7t1 menu structure to set
selinux features.  I thought maybe there would be a
system-config-security, but that doesn't exist either.
