 Largely yes but kernel modules require some caution:

   a) The newer compiler will make some compile time kernel modules
(such as virtualbox) not work unless you update the compiler on your f14
system to match the one used to compile the kernel (or recompile the kernel)

   b) compiling nvidia kernel module - may have additional problema as
the kernel headers changed and it may be missing linux_smp.h or
something (forget the exact name).

  So yes .. you are largely but not 100% correct :-)
