Yes, that was the first one.

For the first one:
scontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t
tclass=fifo_file

Next one says:
audit (#): avc: denied {read write} for pid=1 
exe=/sbin/init  path=/dev/initctl dev=hdg9
ino=3763872
scontext, tcontext and tclass are the same as the first audit message

Then it says:
Setting default font (latarcyrheb-sun16): . . . no modules for INPUT 
product 11/2/6/56
. . . no modules for INPUT product
. . . no modules for INPUT product
Hmmm . . . just rebooted and got the first two audit messages again then
Setting default font (latarcyrheb-sun16): audit (#): avc: denied
and then the same scontext, tcontext and tclass messages.

There's many more (hundreds? thousands?)  but I can copy a few of them down 
If they'd help.
