I usually install perf, kernel-headers, kernel-devel, which are not in
your list - I will have to dig out my old notes and if I find anything
else I will let you know.
I'll try them and see if it helps.... Let me know if you find anything
else I'll need. Thanks.
I don't know if the glibc stuff which is presumably fairly
recent
caused any clashes with older libraries in your f14 system but it is
possible.
Presumably, the glibc stuff was installed due to yum dependencies from
the new kernel.
