This isn't really answering your question, just giving you what I hope is a helpful suggestion. Don't try to preupgrade f10 to f14. From F11 to F12 the format of rpm changed and isn't backward compatible. So you have to do F10 -> F11, then F11 -> F12, then F12 -> F14. You are better off just saving any irreplaceable information from the F10 installation, and doing a fresh install of F14 on those partitions (use custom on the DVD menu to select them). Don't believe me. See the trials and tribulations of a poor soul named Patrick Dupre in the links below.
