Just to track the cause: does it boot with kernel cmdline "selinux=0"?
(warning: this disables selinux, so new files get no selinux-label! You
may have to relabel them on next boot with selinux enabled)

If that's the problem it can easily be solved without using an initrd:
Mount and chroot into the FC guest filesystem before you boot it and run

   /sbin/MAKEDEV null console zero

See here
