Before relabeling, I could boot. After relabeling and booted into 
kernel-2.6.14-1.1808_FC5 in single and with selinux=0 given as a 
parameter, I could install all but a few packages that conflict with 
kdeutils.
After relabeling and rebooting, I could not boot regularly or with 
selinux=0 given as a parameter. I was dropped to a maintenence shell.
I am able to boot with kernel-2.6.14-1.1806_FC5 and with selinux=0 given 
as a parameter.

I am unsure if this is kernel or SELinux related.
