Hi. Yesterday I did a "yum update" and got the new kernel, kernel.x86_64 0-2.6.25-1.fc9, among other packages. The first time I ran it, it seemed to hang at the kernel "Installing" step. I killed it after a few minutes and cleaned up the mess it caused (duplicate packages that would have been removed later in the process). Later, I tried updating again with "-v -d 10", letting it go as long as needed. It finally finished: Running Transaction Installing: kernel ######################### [1/3] Cleanup : kernel ######################### [2/3] Erasing : kmod-nvidia-2.6.25-0.204.rc8 ######################### [3/3] Running "posttrans" handler for "changelog" plugin Running "posttrans" handler for "refresh-packagekit" plugin Running "posttrans" handler for "merge-conf" plugin Transaction time: 3168.841 It froze at the 1/3 step again, but at least it eventually finished. As you can see, that took a really long time, much longer than I've ever seen yum take. Does anyone know why? Should I be concerned about my system? Was it just waiting for some resource to become free?
