Thanks for the tip. Are you using an email reader that you can set to
bottom post automatically?
Thanks,

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.
I use thunderbird and sometimes mutt, both can bottom post and quote
properly.
