Booting in single user mode and running dmesg the only more or less related lines I see are: EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem. EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery. kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds. EXT3-fs: recovery complete. EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. type=1404 audit (122678963.153:2): enforcing =1 old_enforcing=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 a few lines below: SELINUX: initialized (dev sda3, type ext3), uses xattr ....

Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3 FS on sda1, internal journal EXT3-fs: mouinted filesystem with ordered data mode. SELinux: initialized (dev sda1, type ext3), uses xattr So sda3 (/) and sda1 (/boot) are not managed in the same way, or at least don't generate the same notifications.
