The problem is that you are installing fedora packages into SL.  They were
really built for Fedora.  They may actually work, but I believe that their
are some packages missing from base repos for RHEL, SL, and CentOS.  On
RHEL, you would get those packages when you added RHEV.  I don't think they
exist for SL or CentOS.  Look through the January messages on this board.
SOmeone was doing the install on one of the EL clones and you may find more
info there.  Otherwise you could try using Fedora.
