I think this is related to a problem with "rhgb" but I have not got around 
to checking this yet, there was something mentioned in bugzilla sometime 
ago.

This was a bug due to changes in the 2.6.7 kernels and the frame buffer, it 
is fixed in 2.6.8-rc1 Vanilla kernels..

You can get rid of this by adding this to your modules.conf:

# to clear FATAL logs messages
alias sound_slot_1 off

Snipped .. I cannot answer Failed to bind: 0.0.0.0 port 22 (Address already 
in use) : 1 Time(s)

Alexanda <sp> posted an answer to this, you need to coment out the entries 
in the sendmail.mc file that have  "CERT" and regenerate 
the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file by performing a make -C /etc/mail, if you 
read the sendmail.cf file more info is there,

To be honest I think these Errors/warnings I have commented on are harmless 
just a little annoying to see in the logs, my system is only used as a 
Desktop machine but doing the above got rid of the one mentioned, RHGB yet 
yo work on.
