Xen devel - Oct 2008 - XSM/Flask and SELinux policy Compiler problem

Hi,
While booting my Linux box with  Fedora Core 8 with Xen-unstable (Xen
3.4?) [ Kernel version 2.6.18.8-xen], it appears that SELinux is not
mounted. The error/warning message is: 

Mount failed for selinuxfs on /selinux

As  a result the XSM-Flask policy compiler stops building due not to
have access to /selinux/policyvers.

 Did anyone  encounter this problem? Any suggestion to get over with
this?
Thanks

Farid

I''m not sure why selinux is not enabled in your guest.  If you are not
intentionally disabling selinux, I guess that you probably don''t have
selinux properly enabled in your kernel.  Selinux is not part of the stock
xenolinux config.

Unfortunately, you''ve uncovered some selinux cruft in the sample
policy.
You need to comment out the line in the makefile that checks
/selinux/policyvers.  This should allow the policy build to continue.
Nothing in the sample policy depends on this value.
