-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've managed to rebuild fedora core disks using the stock rpm packages on the disks. When I begin including updated packages ( I haven't narrowed down which packages might be causing the problem, though I am trying.) The build proceeds normally until the "scrubbing trees" portion of build install, where it just hangs. The output I get before the hang looks normal: Going to run buildinstall again Building images... Assembling package list... Expanding text packages... Expanding graphical packages... retrieving timezones Creating nsswitch.conf Fixing up /etc/man.config to point into /mnt/sysimage Running mkfontdir...

"top" reports 99% cpu usage until I kill the process. I can manually run "file" against the entire /tmp/treedir.21789/instimage/usr/share/anaconda/help/ directory without any problem. As I said, it works fine with no updates. It also works fine with a limited subset of updates. I've removed all the glibc, kernel, and mozilla updates. Presently, it is hanging while trying to include the following updated packages: (all packages verify fine, passing signature and md5 tests.) epic-1.0.1-16.i386.rpm postgresql-docs-7.3.4-11.i386.rpm postgresql-tcl-7.3.4-11.i386.rpm ethereal-0.9.16-2.FC1.1.i386.rpm postgresql-jdbc-7.3.4-11.i386.rpm postgresql-test-7.3.4-11.i386.rpm ethereal-gnome-0.9.16-2.FC1.1.i386.rpm postgresql-libs-7.3.4-11.i386.rpm postgresql-7.3.4-11.i386.rpm postgresql-pl-7.3.4-11.i386.rpm rhn-applet-2.1.4-3.i386.rpm postgresql-contrib-7.3.4-11.i386.rpm postgresql-python-7.3.4-11.i386.rpm vnc-4.0-0.beta4.3.2.i386.rpm postgresql-devel-7.3.4-11.i386.rpm postgresql-server-7.3.4-11.i386.rpm vnc-server-4.0-0.beta4.3.2.i386.rpm I'm stumped.
