Thanks for the suggestion.
You might be right. I went to single user mode and rebuilt the rpm db with
no problem. Haven't checked all the fans yet, but the power supply fan is
definitely working. Possibly the cpu intensive rpm stuff combined with a
heater blowing air at my feet (and thus at the box as well) caused the
computer to overheat. That might explain the two reboots within a few hours
of each other. Course, I am always open to alternative possibilities.
For some reason, the rebuilt db still shows the old and new versions of
glibc-devel installed. Strange.
