I have a weird thing happening with yum since yesterday, or possibly

When I do a "yum update", after I confirm that I want the updates
to be
installed, yum goes to sleep in the background and does not perform
the
updates.

I've never had this happen before, on any server, ever.
What's going on here? How do I get it to just do the update and be
done with?
Do you mean you run 'yum update', answer yes to the question and it
goes into the the background and releases the prompt for you? That's
weird.
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?
See if the following article solves it for you.
