50 Today I had same problems.
51 i've used livecd-x86-selinux-20040616-1.iso and stage3-x86-selinux-piessp-20050726.tar.bz2
52 Changing policycompat didn't help, because not only selinux versions was different, but policy on livecd and chrooted enviroment was different.
53 Overwriting livecd policy with stage didn't help.
54 I've solved it booting without selinux (at boot time choose "nose" or something like this), merge needed ebuilds, and after reboot relabel
55 fs.
