Description of problem:
Hi,

Yesterday, I did a shutdown of my machine after to have played with security policies - mostly - firewall rules -. 
The shutdown seems to be succesfull however I am not so sure anymore now.
But at that time, I did not care.

Then I restarted my computer and during the boot process of my Fedora Core 5, I had aproximatly the following message after the filesystem check step.

>  Filesystem [ FAILED ]
>
>*** Warning -- SELINUX is active"
>*** Disabling security enforcement for system recovery"
>*** Run 'setenforce 1' to reenable.
>  Give root password for maintenance 
>  (or type Control-D to continue)

So I entered the root password and I did some fsck thinking one of my ext3 formatted logical volume were corrupted then I had something like this :

> fsck ?.?? - the question mark is there cause I did not remember the numbers -
> fsck.ext3: No such file or directory trying to open /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00
>
> -Message that I did not remember- superblock not correct do an e2fsck -b 8128







Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a Fresh Fedora Core 5 on a machine 
2. Enforce the SELINUX
3. Apply some update
4. Disable the SELINUX
5. Apply some update
6. Wait a long while.
7. Apply some update
8. Re Enforce the SELINUX.
9. Shutdown the machine.
10. Restart it and you probably should have this message.

Actual Results:
I was on something between the normal mode and the single mode.

So I was redirected on the command line :
> [ Filesystem rescue 1]

if I did an exit tha machine rebooted.


Expected Results:
The OS should have started correctly. As usual.

After re-enabling selinux in enforce mode you will probably must relabel
filesystem (depends on how selinux was disabled).
