The yum.logs don't show anything about memory issues. Maybe I only
assumed it was a memory issue and quit out of the update process
before it was done needlessly. When I updated my brother's computer,
there was some of the same behavior (at least it appeared to be the
same) and I think it had something to do with shutting down the
VirtualBox kernel. I just let it go in that case and everything
updated fine.

I've just updated my laptop without any issues (no VirtualBox on this
computer). I guess what I'm saying is that I think the only software
problem was the software between the computer screen and the chair.
Sorry for bringing it up -- next time I'll document any problems --
real or imagined.

And thanks again for your great work on CentOS.

I can give a current 'df -h' but, unfortunately, I didn't write down
any specifics while updating.

Here's what I currently have.

[r...@localhost ~]$ df -h
FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
35G   30G  3.4G  90% /
/dev/hda1 97M   37M   56M  40% /boot
tmpfs502M  0  502M   0% /dev/shm

The issue came up *after* I had downloaded all the update files. My
used space was 99%, approximately 230 Megs were shown available at /.
There was no memory available in my tmpfs directory/partition.

I believe yum kicked me out of the update process. There were a lot of
messages without line breaks -- filled up the screen. When I cleared
about 3 Gigs of memory and re-ran 'yum update' it started back up
where I left off and finished the updated without issue..

If you think that I have enough information to file a bug report I'll
go ahead and do that.

Thanks again.

 That's because your kernel does not have a k10temp driver - it was only
 introduced into the mainline kernel around 2.6.32. There is a backported
 driver in ELRepo:

 http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-k10temp

 yum install kmod-k10temp

 Red Hat did do a huge backport refresh of the /hwmon tree in el5.5, but
 they pulled from around kernel-2.6.26 which was before k10temp made it
 into the mainline kernel.

 Hope that helps.

Indeed! Many thanks.
It hasn't helped yet but it will as soon as I get the yum-priorities 
straight.  I'm pretty skiddish -- if not downright paranoid -- about 
repo mixing and I'm using all due caution before allowing yum to replace 
my existing lm_sensors-2.10.7-9.el5.i386 with the pre-requisite
lm_sensors-2.10.8-2.el5.elrepo.i386.rpm.

Thanks again to you and to Yves, who also responded.

Ditto here as well. All 133 packages updated without a problem. When
re-booting, got a 'warning' that kdump had to rebuild. Once that
completed, everything seems as it was before. Yes, things do seem a
little 'snappier' - maybe it's only a delusion brought about by wishful
thinking - I like it when it happens though.

I thought I noticed snappier, too.  Only problem I had was that I 
stupidly failed to change xorg.conf to not use proprietary driver before 
rebooting.  They say cross-pollination will fair eat your lunch.  :-(

That's strange, because lM-sensors now detects my AMD Phenom. Did you 
install kmod-k10temp?

As I posted earlier, after a few apparent glitches during the package
retrieval process, everything seemed to go well.

I noted that when dkms was installed, it choked on my nvidia driver
and fuse-ntfs-3, but they're both in the weak-updates as links to the
older versions that ran with 2.6.18-164.15.1, and I'm pretty sure the
nvidia driver is running (shows in lsmod).

I just hooked up one of my older laptop Windows disks, and it seems to
work just fine, too, so I think that means all is well.

THANK YOU, CENTOS TEAM!
