Booting with selinux=0 disables SELinux at boot time. So if you have
tried doing that and it didn't help, then the problem is very unlikely
to be related to SELinux at all.

SELinux policy isn't loaded until /sbin/init runs. And SELinux allows
everything until policy is loaded (i.e. it is effectively permissive
until a policy is loaded no matter how you boot it). And booting with
selinux=0 unhooks SELinux entirely. So, as above, I don't think your
problem has anything to do with SELinux.
