...hopefully it gets that far. So for example, on mine I'd use
mirror.steadfast.net <http://mirror.steadfast.net> . Then check the
/var/cache/yum/i686/6/base/mirrorlist.txt file and it should show you
the path to the os directory for that server, e.g. mine has :

http://mirror.steadfast.net/centos/6.5/os/x86_64/

So I'd run :

curl http://mirror.steadfast.net/centos/6.5/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml

to make sure it can get the file. Again just a connectivity test,
because in your straces it was getting stuck trying to make these
connection attempts.


Okay, this is getting more frustrating by the minute.

I can do nslookup on mirrorlist.centos.org and get a list of four IPs.

I do not have the /var/cache/i386/6/base/mirrorlist.txt file. There is a packages directory in base.

If I try to yum update, it loops like before.
