Some further testing
indicates that the removal of old kernel-devel packages (15 of them) is
at least part of the problem. I tried running:
$ package-cleanup --oldkernels
from yum-utils. That resulted in the same error as did my big yum
update (which was "memory alloc (4 bytes) returned NULL"). So I tried:
$ yum remove kernel-devel-2.6.12-*_FC4
Figuring that 15 was too many to remove at once so just remove these 5.
Same error. In fact, attempting to remove just one kernel-devel package
resulted in this error. Is there another way to remove them that may
work?
Try:
# for kd in $(rpm -q kernel-devel); do rpm -e $kd; done
Also get rid of as many old kernels as you can.
