Tks Can you log into single user mode? If so, perhaps looking at either your /var/log/yum.conf, or a date sorted listing (ll -t) of /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/ file will clue you into which rpms were being updated at the time and verifying the rpm contents (rpm -V package) may offer more clues.
