That is not my case, because I am able to install new packages after the
first boot or call yum again without problems.
Maybe it is a timeout or any other network error :(

In preparation for trying to do this as part of a postinstall, I manually
ran this command:
yum -y install `cat file_full_of_package_names`
After installing a number of packages, it aborted with
rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db4 error(-30978) from dbenv->close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal
error, run database recovery
and it refused to install any more packages. I had to run "rpm --rebuilddb"
to recover. Perhaps something similar is happening in your case.
