The policy is valid enough to have kernel_t defined.

That's always a good thing to check, but the domain init_t will be used 
for /sbin/init in both Strict and Targeted policies.

XFS worked last time I tested it.  I've got a server running with XFS (but I 
haven't upgraded it's kernel for a while).

ReiserFS didn't work last time I tested it.

The first thing to do is to run "ls -lZ /sbin/init".  Then we'll have a better 
idea of what went wrong.

Yes, "fixfiles relabel" is a good idea.
