Lets abstract this issue a bit...

1) what exactly are you trying to do with the machine
2) have you installed any software outside the centos repos?
3) when did these problems start?

I hope you realize that your situation is not the norm. A lot of
people run RedHat/Centos servers wit SELinux so it is definitely not
mission impossible.
