Created attachment 103667 [details] avc denied lines from /var/log/messages during boot
The problem is the /dev/log has the wrong security context on it. Are you running with /dev/ on tmpfs_t? Do a restorecon /dev/log and the problem should go away.
Is this still happening with the current policy?
selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.12-1 is now OK: these lines are no longer produced, in neither fc3t1 nor fc3t2pre (re0908.0). I see no complaints when booting the latest up2date of these two systems.
