Hi, can you try to use rpm command, p.e rpm -qa? I installed yum on RH9 
(with problem on rpm database) and, when i run yum, it stalled: the problem 
was rpm database. You can debug this option, run rpm -qa -v (for verbose). 
If this is your problem, you can rebuild rpm database with rpm --rebuilddb 
-v (for verbose)
