[Arm-dev] SElinux st failed

This is on a Cubieboard2 with the OS on a sata HD:

I followed the instructions on the wiki

vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux <- change from "permissive" to "enforcing"
vi /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf <- change the "enforce=0" to "enforce=1"
touch /.autorelabel

I then rebooted and the following appears on the console log:

[  OK  ] Reached target Switch Root.
          Starting Switch Root...
[   10.682159] systemd-journald[129]: Received SIGTERM from PID 1 (systemd).
[   11.306507] systemd[1]: Failed to load SELinux policy.
[!!!!!!] Failed to load SELinux policy, freezing.


Note that /boot is sda1 and / is sda3

I am awaiting guidance.

thank you
