The machine was rebooted, and I managed to crashed it again, just to get the yum output: # yum update Gathering package information from servers Getting headers from: Fedora Core 2 base Getting headers from: Fedora Core 2 updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies . and that's it. It then crashed. By dead, I meant crash, the entire system (not just yum) just crashed completely. Lost ssh connection, doesn't respond on ping or anything. -- Joe -- Money can't buy everything.
