I use mirrordir to mirror the primary HD to a second drive, arranged so that quickly booting from the second drive and getting back to work right away is possible. After an upgrade to FC5 X would not start when booting from the second drive. The solution was to disable SELinux by editing the kernel line in grub.conf on the second drive thus:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2257.fc5 ro root=/dev/hdc2 selinux=0
