This is probably something specific to this server (it has a RAID driver issue) but I wonder if anyone here has seen similar? Should I wait for (many) more hours?
This is a known issue.You need to compile a list of rpms you have that originate from non-Fedora yum repositories, and nuke them.
You can reinstall them after the upgrade, and after you've updated the core Fedora 8 install with all the current updates.
