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 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 run x86_64 with no problems ...
What kind of install is it, Workstation or Server?
After the upgrade where RPM is upgraded, it is actually a good idea to rebuild the database.
The machine I use to autobuild all updates is an x86_64 machine that runs with 6 chroots.
