Hi,

I need to get SELinux running on an appliance we are building, not
based on a
distro that already supports SELinux.

I've got all the userspace stuff built, (including setools3) without any
warnings or errors. I followed instructions for installing and loading
refpolicy, no warnings or errors.  (Except the python tools, which all
import
selinux.py, which does not seem to be included in the source tree.)

I'm booting with kernel options "security=selinux selinux=1", and
dmesg shows
SELinux initializing, and no errors or warnings.

sestatus output:

SELinux status:                enabled
SELinuxfs mount:            /sys/fs/selinux
SELinux root directory:        /etc/selinux
Loaded policy name:        refpolicy
Current mode:                permissive
Mode from config file:        permissive
Policy MLS status:            disabled
Policy deny_unknown status:    denied
Max kernel policy version:        30

Problem is: fixfiles does not actually label anything, and the
underlying reason
is that none of the mounted disk filesystems (all ext4) have option
'seclabel'.

Any pointers?

Also, given the absence of the seclabel option, I question if the
kernel part
of SELinux is in fact really happy...and if it isn't, I'm dead in the
water
anyway.

This implies that you haven't loaded a policy into the kernel. Normally
this is done by init; both sysvinit and systemd should already include
the necessary bits but you may have to enable them in your configure.

Sorry, I didn't read that carefully enough - your sestatus output would suggest that you have loaded a policy.

What's the actual output you got from SELinux during boot?

What's your kernel version?
