So, nothing was obviously wrong with the lilo.conf file? (just to make sure the lilo.conf file was eliminated as a potential problem or not)
I downloaded the src file from the NSA website, used the 7.1 Redhat version they said was the version used for developing selinux (just to avoid any complications because of differences between versions), and followed some fairly explicit step by step instructions from their documentation. I didn't get any error messages during compilation so it looked like everything went ok there. I downloaded the file that was supposed to contain the source code tree, and all the patches and modified utilities. This was the description of the kernel I downloaded - "Download a 2.4.17 based kernel with the LSM (Linux Security Module) patch applied and the SELinux module merged, the checkpolicy policy compiler, an example policy configuration, the setfiles file labeling utility, an example file_contexts configuration, and the complete source for all new and modified daemons and utilities."
