I have a fresh FC2T2 install. I did the following to make up2date

The following appeared. It seems the kernel did install OK.

What was the working directory at the time you ran up2date? Was
it /home/something?
We don't want to grant such domains wide access, and we also don't want large
dontaudit rules (they increase the size of the policy, increase kernel memory
use, etc).
Is it acceptable that sometimes if you run something from an unusual directory
then it will cause an audit message?
