Indeed it would; an SELinux system like FC3 wants to write extended
filesystem attributes to filesystems. These attributes may not be
compatible with older kernels from previous FC versions. So this is
another reason why it may not be practical to share *any* partitions
(except perhaps ones mounted read-only) between installations.
