Might it be possible that you didn't enable support for security labels when compiling the kernel? Check Filesystems -> Ext3 Security Labels Also, when installing LFS with SELinux, did you compile GLibC twice? I first compile it without SELinux, afterwards the SELinux-libraries, so that those can link against GLibC, and then again GLibC, with SELinux-support that time. Don't know though if that would be any issue, having a GLibC that isn't aware of SELinux. But I, for myself found that probably the safest way seems to add an extra compile of GLibC to the install after installing the SELinux-libs.
