I ran memtest86 overnight (12 hours WallTime, 30 Tests) and everything passed fine.
I deleted the files listed in the "man rpm" page as having to do with the rpm database (this was basically the /var/log/rpm folder). Referring back to Rick's email, I noticed he suggested deleting only the __db.00x files. Oops. :) Anyway, I'm getting a "cannot open/read repomd.xml" from yum, and guessing it's an rpm problem, so I'm currently tracking that down. Once I get that rpm up and running again, I'll check to see if this all has made a difference with yum.

If you're talking about the RPM database, it's in in "/var/lib/rpm" and
contained in the files "__db.001", "__db.002" and "__db.003".
If you're referring to the yum databases, they're in
"/var/cache/yum/<repo-name>".
That's all contained in the "Files" part of the man pages for rpm and
yum. "man" is also your friend. In Linux, you have a LOT of friends!
