The Champion

If your up2date is hanging, then the issue is primarily with the DNS. Check your /etc/resolv.conf and see if the DNSes listed there are valid. Up2date hangs are primarily caused by DNS problem, since up2date's resolver logic seems to be brain damaged. You can easily solve the problem by temporarily installing bind on the server, and adding 127.0.0.1 to your /etc/resolv.conf, and then deleting it once the installation has been successfully completed.

 

 yum -y install bind bind-chroot
 service named restart

Add this to /etc/resolv.conf

 
 nameserver 127.0.0.1

Run the installer again.

After the installation is complete, remove both bind and the entry from /etc/resolv.conf

 

 rpm -e bind bind-chroot

Thanks.
