If you didn't have SELinux running, there's a chance that any files created or modified during that time mightn't have the right SELinux contexts set on them. So, after enabling SELinux, it'll trawl through the drive relabelling everything as it thinks it ought to be (based on some defaults). If you have some non default things (e.g. home directories somewhere else than /home, or files that need custom contexts), you'll need to manually fix them up afterwards. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
