[Jackson Byers]

]$ uname -r
2.6.35.14-97.fc14.i686

installing  chromium seemed to complete without errors:

[root@f14 ~]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
[root@f14 yum.repos.d]# wget
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium/fedora-chromium-stable.rep...

# yum install chromium
....

Installed:
  chromium.i686 0:14.0.835.186-1.fc14

Dependency Installed:
  libjingle.i686 0:0.6.0-2.fc14              libsrtp.i686
0:1.4.4-1.20101004cvs.fc14
  nss-mdns.i686 0:0.10-8.fc12                v8.i686 0:3.4.14-2.fc14

Complete!
[root@f14 yum.repos.d]#

but  chromium won't start

from ps  ax:

3474 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser
--enable-plugins --enable-extensions --enable-user-scripts
--enable-printing --enable-sync --auto-ssl-client-auth
 3476 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser

--enable-printing --enable-sync --auto-ssl-client-auth
 3477 ?        Z      0:00 [chrome-sandbox] <defunct>
