I tried to update just the kernel (yum update kernel*), and after
sitting for a long time it puked up this:

Error Downloading Packages:
  kernel-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5.x86_64: failed to retrieve
getPackage/kenel-2.6.18-164.2.2.el5.x86_64.rpm from rhel-x86_64-server-5
error was [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error >

I've never had a problem with yum before, but yum itself was updated the
last time I ran "yum updates". Could something have happened to it?

Cheers,
