System locked up during update of kernel, yum in unclean state and kernel half-installed
 

Some more information,

I did a "rpm --verify kernel-3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64". All of the files
seem to be okay and they all have the verify flags of "5S.......",
nothing else.

As far as grub, the 3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64 revision of the kernel is
listed in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. However I'm still running with the -1
revision.

I did notice when grub was booting that it said it was grub version
1.99 - is that normal?

My /boot has this; notice there's no -2 version of the initramfs, and
the other -2 files are zero-length.

I'm surprised YUM didn't tell you to run "yum-complete-transaction".
I'd try running that first to see if that can clear up your errors.

If not, "package-cleanup --dupes" [again :-( ] and then you can
reinstall the kernel. Luckily, Fedora keeps several kernels around
just in case, and you happen to know at least one is working order.
;-) If something goes awry with the newer kernel, just pick the
working one from the GRUB menu.

Yes. GRUB2 is actually GRUB 1.99. GRUB1 was really GRUB <= 0.97.

Very strange that rpm -V didn't go nuts about that. You definitely
need to reinstall the kernel package though.

As near as I can tell, yum only prints the message about running
"yu-complete-transaction" when you've actually tried to update new things,
screwed up the current transaction, and made it impossible for
yum-complete-transaction to work anymore :-(.

At least it hasn't tried to completely uninstall every RPM on your
system, as it wants to do on one my machines!

I quickly cancelled that and repaired the damage manually, but now YUM
annoys me about running "yum-complete-transaction" every time I use
it. Google indicates that there used to be a "package-cleanup"
argument to shut it up, but it doesn't seem to exist anymore. :-(

perhaps not - here is F14

$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/package-cleanup
yum-utils-1.1.28-1.fc14.noarch

If you've not done any more yum commands that change things
(installs/upgrades/removals), do:

yum history redo last

Correct. package-cleanup is not a yum argument, it is a separate command
that is part of the yum-utils package.

Of course package-cleanup still exists; I meant the argument I was
expecting was missing.

That being said, I'm an idiot and completely misread the forum thread,
now that I look at it again. The command I was looking for is
"yum-complete-transaction --cleanup-only" and has nothing to do with
"package-cleanup". :-s
