i don't run selinux or audit and therefore no knowledge here, but the 
"denied" ... ALARM ALARM

try:
- reboot
- at grub boot menu hit the space key
- select the kernel line
- hit key "a" (for append)
- backspace all including the r from rhgb
- key in selinux=0 audit=0 3
- enter or "b" key
- login as root

swapon -sv ?	
no swap space => swapon -a

swapon -sv ?
no swap space =>

    - swapoff -a

    - mkswap /dev/hda6 -L "SWAP-hda6"  ( label included in " " )

    - swapon -a

swapon -sv ?

no swap space => stay with dave jones advice !
