I've had this exact same problem, and I uninstalled yum reinstalled it and it work for a day and then back to the same. I've also had it working temporarily by doing a yum clean-all then yum makecache. But next day it went back to doing the same old hang up. I'm not sure if this is a yum problem or a centos problem.
I was having this exact issue recently. Or at least, Yum was hanging at the same stage as what you describe.
It was recommended to me on this list to do the following:
cd /var/lib/rpm rm __db.00* rpm --rebuilddb
This seems to have cleared up the problem for me. It might work for you.
Are you running x86_64 ? Or is anyone here running x86_64 CentOS 4 and having success with yum update
I am running x86_6 and had strange problems twice after running yum update. You didn't state you are using x86 or x86_64 CentOS DVD but I am assuming it is the x86_64 DVD?? I used x86_64
The first time after a system crash (which I caused) the box was unable to compile anything. The second time I had hang problems too. I just nuked the box and am running a non updated CentOS 4.1 x86_64. For me it's no problem. no access to the box is possible and it's not running any services.
This was solved, it turned out that I had a TYAN mother board with onboard SATA controller, which I updated the bios to the latest, and now everything is fine.
