Obviously yum hangs.
It hangs because he is improperly mixing 3rd party repos
with the standard configuration.
Someone suggested just removing the 3rd repos,
and continuing on.
I don't know how long this has been going on:
1) Somewhere along the line an incompatible
package from a 3rd party repo could have been
installed as a result of his yum configuration.
Just returning to a standard repo config.
Will not uniinstall any incompatible packages.
The OP should be alert to this possibility.
It is a difficult problem to diagnose.
We do not have good tools for this.
2) Presumably the OP had a valid reason,
for mixining standard and 3rd party repos.
yum-priorities is a good, but not perfect tool
for mixing repos. Rather than removing
all 3rd party repos the OP might want to
configure yum-priorities
