Is this particular machine and kernel presently stable 
when running the same kernel and no selinux? I have
seen very strange things happen over the years when
hardware is failing or marginal, power supply voltages
are on the edge... I've seen particular PCI modules
blow the bus out of the water, etc, etc...

Worth checking before you ruin Stephen Smalley's sleep 
and fill it with nightmares of kernel race conditions
and random byte squashers. :-)
