kernel update and 100% CPU nash

[Dan Horák]

Hello,

I have got again the 100% CPU for nash during today's kernel update with
yum. The system gets to the following state:
- nash takes 100% CPU
- 2 processes of mkinitrd are running
- initrd for the new kernel is created
- grub.conf is not updated

Then I kill the nash (kill 7634) and the yum's update continues without
any related error and also the grub.conf is updated.

The last kernel I had installed was 2.6.17-1.2396 and the new was
2.6.17-1.2405. SELinux policy packages were updated during the same
transaction, but before the kernel update.

Here is the list of processes running:
