This has little to do with your other problems. AFAIK, glib is only
needed for gtk/gnome stuff.  (It has to be in RPMS and in the "hdlist"

file should match the real package name.)

Looks like a problem loading SILO.  Perhaps it wasn't installed, the
PROM is looking on ther wrong slice (partition), or there is some
other error.
