Hmmm...shouldn't matter, as audit2allow -v -i /var/log/messages is just
looking for audit messages in /var/log/messages.

Yes, that is what the above command should have done, regardless of
whether you are running SELinux presently or not.  You can certainly
look directly at /var/log/messages for other SELinux-related output, but
if you aren't seeing any audit messages, then I'm not sure what is
happening.
