erm, well, I got that too (freeze of yum update in cleanup stage). When I finally went to the console, the server was spitting lots of ext3 (filesystem) error messages :-( I had no other option than restart the barbarian way (I had the magic SysRq disabled, so maybe you can avoid that),
SOrry, what is, in this case, the "barbarian way"? This is a remote server on UM Linux. What I can do is to log in at the emergency console, or whatever the ISP calls it, and type a halt command there. Is this what you are suggesting?
Also, I don't understand the "magic SysRq disabled part. What do you mean?
So I'd say check if there are messages on the console
typing C-z, C-c, what?
THanks, Marco
