When I run

locks up solid for long minutes. The update does not actually occur. It
stops dead while the hard drive stays constantly busy. I tailed
/var/log/messages but saw no unusual output printed to the log while
this was happening. Version and kernel information:

[rlc@bobcp4 ~]$ rpm -q yum
yum-2.4.1-1.fc4
[rlc@bobcp4 ~]$ uname -a
Linux bobcp4.lingpgmr.com 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4smp #1 SMP Thu Feb 2 17:36:59
EST 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


I tried `yum clean metadata' with the same result. I also tried booting
the 1656_FC4smp kernel with the same result.

Any advice about how to fix this?

Thanks

Did you try "yum clean all"?



Yes I did, it does not help. Yum seems to monopolize my hard drive, and so does up2date. I'll put this in bugzilla later today.
