When you say disabled, do you actually mean you booted with selinux=0
or do you just mean you set it to permissive.
In RHEL-6 there was a bug that could break LXC if you boot with selinux=0.
Running with selinux enabled, but in permissive mode should work just
fine though.

You can try looking at /var/log/libvirt/lxc/$GUEST.log
if that has insufficient info, then you can do
service libvirtd stop
edit /etc/libvirt/lxc.conf and set log_with_libvirtd=1
LIBVIRT_LOG_FILTERS=1:lxc LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS=1:stderr /usr/sbin/libvirt
and then start the guest - the guest log file should then have much more
info in it.
