The machine wouldn't even reboot after the 'yum update' was complete; after 'starting nash' I didn't see any output. I had to boot from an old FC4 CD and recover. What I found was that glibc was apparently busted (everything segfaulted), along with ld.so, libk5crypto (fixing those fixed the 'Illegal instructions' I was getting) and maybe one or two others. I had to copy them from my boot image, install a new kernel and initrd, and reboot to downgrade to the older glibc. I didn't see any errors during the upgrade either, so I'm not sure what went wrong (though the logs are probably still there).
