Updating a gateway / server machine from 7.1 to 7.2 and having a few issues.
Only have one dungog addition, as well as sysmon to worry about, and have done a few other similar updates on other boxes.
When I do yum update, it downloads all files, works out dependencies etc, and fails during the installation phase at libxml2-python.
I have downloaded from the mirrors the files required for everything else, and done yum localinstall [filename] or [groupname] to install php, perl, etc and all is well. After numerous signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot phases, come back to having to upgrade libxml2-python and below is ALWAYS the result.
rpm -Uvh libxml2-python-2.6.16-10.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:libxml2-python ###################################### ( 89%)
It just hangs at 89%....
At this stage, I cannot putty into the machine, cannot login at the terminal, cannot issue reboot from server-manager... NUTHIN!!!!
Even getting client to press power button to instigate a shutdown has no effect.
After powering back up and looking at sysmon graphs, I see that CPU usage is nominal, but memory utilization swap file is through the roof.
Have looked through all log files in /var/log, grepped for error, fail, parse, and can't find anything mentioned while trying to install this.
HELP!!
