do you see messages in dmesg such as

AVC: allocated 14760 bytes during initialization. SELinux: module inserted

or, from messages,

Dec 10 16:49:15 zfc kernel: security: starting up (compiled Nov 27 2001) Dec 10 16:49:15 zfc kernel: security: loading policy configuration from /ss_policy
Dec 10 16:49:15 zfc kernel: security: 3 users, 6 roles, 372 types Dec 10 16:49:15 zfc kernel: security: 29 classes, 70479 rules

if not, i'd check to see if the SELinux kernel configuration flags are set correctly (for example, make sure that CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y is present in the kernel configuration file) and that a policy configuration exists in /ss_policy.
