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?
how many kernels do you have installed?
rpm -q kernel
nevertheless it is most likely the file fingerprint routine in rpm.
Fingerprinting happens when preparing for the transaction, not while
installing. A "hang" during installation is most likely a scriptlet (%post
or so) just taking forever to run.
