Hi Charles,
Thanks. Nothing shows up after I followed the command
you suggested.
If I install it this way: rpm -Uvih *.rpm
I got this message: Segmentation fault
If I install it this way: rpm -vih *.rpm
I got the following on the screen and got stuck at 4%
forever.
Preparing...

I would not expect it to segfault that way, but you are contradicting
the arguments.
1> U is for Updating a package.
2> i is for installing a package.
3> v is for verbose output (more messages to the console).
4> h is for the hash marking (progress bar).
So for updating a package I use:
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
for installing a package from scratch (like what you should do with
kernels) I use:
rpm -ivh *.rpm
I would expect an error in rpm if you use both i and U in the same
command as you've done above. A segfault is a bit much and I assume the
programmers haven't debugged that parameter combination.
As to why it takes so long, I would rebuild the rpm database and clear
the cache files - this smells like an old problem I used to have.
