[rhelv6-list] Yum problems with new install within a KVM

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (Santiago) discussion mailing-list rhelv6-list at redhat.com
Tue Mar 22 18:25:20 UTC 2011


I installed a minimal server configuration on RHEL6 and
I'm using LVM with a single virtual disk device.  (This is
within a KVM VM.)

First item of business is to register with RHN and then run
yum update.  That ran into a segmentation fault.  I noticed
yum was one of the packages to be updated so
I've updated this and the kernel and rebooted.

It didn't fix the issues completely.
I now see this when doing a full update:

# yum update

"yum clean all" didn't help resolve this as it sometimes does.

I noticed the complaint about multiple device-mapper-libs packages.
I elect to remove this one:

# rpm -e device-mapper-libs-1.02.53-8.el6_0.4.x86_64

Now yum update seems to run further, but another problem:

It sits like this hung for over three minutes.  control-C has no impact.
kill -9 was required to stop yum update

This is pretty much "straight out of the box".  Is there still QA being done
on Redhat Enterprise?
I mean, beyond the Fedora users?
