I found the same problem, and after installing, a 'yum update' also took
forever.
Eventually I narrowed it down to the test transaction stage, and in
particular, the fact that I had about 15 old kernel-devel packages (from
my previous FC4 installation) was crippling rpm transactions.
I wrote a quick bash script to loop through and 'rpm -e' all my old FC4
kernel-devel packages - which took quite a long time. It seemed to cure
the problem for me.
I don't know if this was a red herring, or just co-incidence.. just my
experience.
