While running a long "yum update", I got the following message in the
middle:

     kernel: You have some hardware problem, likely on the PCI bus.

    Message from syslogd@chowder at Aug 25 11:55:03 ...
     kernel: Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
    (368/406): gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.19-2.fc9.i386.rpm | 929

I am assuming that the second occurrence of "(368/406):
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.19.2.fc9.i386.rpm" indicates that it did
finish that rpm given that the rpm_debug_check and Transaction Test
seemed to have passed.

So, I am figuring this is my computer burping somewhere. Even though it
is trying to point me at my PCI bus, I do not know what test / diags I
should be running to find out if there really is a hardware problem and,
if so, where and then how to deal with it.

Any suggestions appreciated ... if I can provide any more info, please
let me know what would be helpful.

This is related to my prior email "update error on F9 -- round two" if
more context is needed.

Thanks,
Paul

The last time I got one of these "dazed and confused" messages was when I was running a Fedora distribution on a motherboard with multiple PCI domains. Do you get a "dazed and confused" message during your boot process, or did it only show up during the yum update?

Thanks,
