I went to a mirror site and found the latest for yum  (yum-2.9.5.4). I 
had to look on a couple of mirrors until I found this version.

I then did the usual
   rpm -Uvh yum-2.9.5.4
and that should give you a working yum.

I also pulled in the latest kernel (...2608) and did an install and 
reboot to that kernel.

Hope this helps
Glenn
