If you want to use SELinux, you need to initially label your
filesystems, which wouldn't occur automatically on an upgrade (vs. a
clean install).  Run 'fixfiles relabel' from single-user mode and
reboot.  But if you don't want to use SELinux, you can disable it; put
SELINUX=disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux (or /etc/selinux/config if
using thte development tree) and be done with it.
