I am just wondering if any of you guys with the udev hang problem have tried: rpm -e the new kernel? Then try to reinstall it via yum install. You should delete the new kernel from /var/cache/yum first.
Just a point in why I say that is I have seen several machines that have yummed corrupt packages and bad repo metadata. After pegging yum to pull from a distinct mirror the problem has gone away.

How about this: I downloaded the new kernel rpm again manually then used rpm2cpio to load the files into a work directory then ran this script:
$ rpm -qlp ../kernel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.x86_64.rpm | while read rl do rstr=$(cmp $rl .$rl 2>&1) rc=$? if (( rc != 0 )); then echo $rstr | grep -v "Is a directory" > /dev/null rc=$? if (( rc == 0 )); then echo "Error: $rstr" fi fi done Error: cmp: ./boot/initrd-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.img: No such file or directory Error: cmp: ./lib/modules/2.6.18-194.3.1.el5/build: No such file or directory Error: cmp: ./lib/modules/2.6.18-194.3.1.el5/source: No such file or directory
--- And that would be correct because there are not there. There generated on the kernel install by the the rpm header that contains the mkinitrd script in kernel-rt or kernel.spec.
