Boot was stopping at the following message

SELinux: Disabled at runtime.
type=1404 audt(1358286571.639.2): selinux=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295

To solve this problem, follow the document Why RHEL5 boot hangs after “SELinux: Disabled at runtime?

• Disable console redirection.
• Remove serial console entry from GRUB kernel line.

Rebooted the server
Edited grub line removing any mention of console, at the end of line inserted init=/bin/bash. Pressed then b to boot with these modified line
After getting prompt

# mount -o rw,remount /
# cp -p /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.20171211

Edited /etc/fstab and commented any filesystem that is not from the operating system

Rebooted the server

After the server is online, edited /boot/grub/menu.lst and removed all mention of console on kernel lines

root@linux:/boot/grub # vi menu.lst
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

Uncomment the filesystems you had just commented and then run fsck on them
