Do a dmesg as root and try to see if you have any filesystem issues
first. Then it's good to see if you have too many things and /var might
be out of space.

We are running 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5xen on our server.
Recently "yum update", "yum localinstall TIV*.rpm --nogpgcheck",
and versions of "rpm -U xterm" hang. yum hangs up on the transition
check after all the packages have been downloaded. "rpm -U" tells
me which dependencies that I need, but hangs if I include the
dependencies in the list of programs to upgrade.
"rpm --rebuildbd" seems to work.
How do I start debugging this problem?
Is there any clue in /var/log/yum.log?
<snip>
The kernel on which the system is running is xen, but the problem with
rpm and yum still exists.
Ok, so is there anything in the yum.log, from when it failed? Have you
tried rpm -Uvh xterm, to see if it said anything? Oh - and try rpm
-Uvvh -
I thought I remembered this, and yep, the man page sayeth "Print lots of
ugly debugging information".
Let us know what happens if you try that.

Thanks, Mark and Gabi,
rpm -Uvvh xterm*rpm
ends with
D: opening db index /var/lib/rpm/Packages create mode=0x42
D: mounted filesystems:
D: i dev bsize bavail iavail mount point
We are also having problems with df working completely. df also hangs
after reporting most of the volumes that are mounted. We thought the
problems were unrelated. Perhaps a reboot will help.
