Gang, I'm looking for suggestions on this one.... Using yumex (yumex-2.0.1-1.fc6) to upgrade the following packages: > 00:18:12 : Getting : http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/6/i386/kernel-doc-2.6.22.4-45.fc6.noarch.rpm > 00:18:18 : Getting : http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/6/i386/kernel-2.6.22.4-45.fc6.i686.rpm > 00:18:57 : Getting : http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/6/i386/kernel-devel-2.6.22.4-45.fc6.i686.rpm > 00:19:08 : Getting : http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/6/i386/kmod-nvidia-legacy-1.0.7185-2.2.6.22.4_45.fc6.i686.rpm > 00:19:14 : Getting : http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/6/i386/kernel-headers-2.6.22.4-45.fc6.i386.rpm > 00:19:16 : Checking GPG Signatures: > 00:19:16 : Running Transaction Test > 00:19:46 : Finished Transaction Test > 00:19:46 : Transaction Test Succeeded > 00:19:46 : --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

However, the install wedges with the following "ps ax --forest" output: > 699 ?

If it matters: "rpm -V mkinitrd" and "rpm -V nash" both say nothing's munged. > SOS:sos=> rpm -q mkinitrd > mkinitrd-5.1.19.0.3-1 > SOS:sos=> rpm -V mkinitrd > SOS:sos=> rpm -q nash > nash-5.1.19.0.3-1 > SOS:sos=> rpm -V nash > SOS:sos=> Yeah.. I know it's trying to write the /boot/initrd-2.6.22.4-45.fc6.img file, but why is the process hanging? Any help would be appreciated'idly, -S
