I had the same problems; I ended up having to run XFdrake to configure X;
rebuilding the symbolic links in /etc/rc5.d/ for "network" and "portmap" -
this was why NFS was failing to start on my system no lo0 or eth0 devices!

Be warned if you try to upgrade kdebase that you will get a cpio unlink
error during the rpm upgrade/install - there is a posting on this list as to
how to fix it.
