yum broken

Thanks for all the help so far.

I ran memtest86 overnight (12 hours WallTime, 30 Tests) and everything
passed fine.

I deleted the files listed in the "man rpm" page as having to do with the
rpm database (this was basically the /var/log/rpm folder). Referring back to
Rick's email, I noticed he suggested deleting only the __db.00x files. Oops.
:) Anyway, I'm getting a "cannot open/read repomd.xml" from yum, and
guessing it's an rpm problem, so I'm currently tracking that down. Once I
get that rpm up and running again, I'll check to see if this all has made a
difference with yum.
