ntpd is not SE Linux aware, so in permissive mode SE Linux will not impact
it's operation. You can easily discover whether SE Linux is at fault by
putting the machine in permissive mode and trying to start ntpd.
LVM is not going to be the issue unless there is kernel memory corruption
(unlikely).
You describe the two machines as having different types of CPU, that could
make a difference to exec-shield. Try configuring exec-shield as described
in the bugzilla and see if it makes a difference.
