Hi Dave,

I am experiencing the same problem on two of my systems running CentOS 5. I get an error message after a long timeout, "could not retrieve mirrorlist". Please let me know if you find a way around this problem.

Thanks,
David

Subject:  yum freezing when removing old kernel


Hello,
Today i ran a yum update and installed kernel 2.6.18.53.1 from centosplus. I then rebooted to ensure i was running it. I was and went to remove the previous kernel and kernel-devel packages v2.6.18.53 also from centosplus. In both cases yum gets to the running transaction check then hangs, i don't get any errors it just sits there. I have to manually kill the yum process to resolve this. This does not happen with any other package add/removals. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Dave.

try running yum with -d9, and see if the extra info gives you more info, something that might help diagnose the issue. For issues such as 'could not retrieve mirrorlist, I'd suspect a network issue .

Also, try not to top post, it makes it hard to make sense our of what you are saying and how it relates to the previous email.
