Hi,

Running Transaction
  Updating       : selinux-policy                                           1/6 
  Updating       : kmod-r8168                                               2/6 
Working. This may take some time ...


An hour later, still working...

I tried an strace but nothing shows up.
Now, it is in: T+and strace showed me it was/is stuck on "phantom" usb devices and doing lvm stuff while I do not use lvm...


Should I wait or can I just ctrl-c, reset the usb_storage module to clean up and retry yum update?


Thx,
