yum upgrade hangs

[Spundun Bhatt]

Thanks for your response Eric.

I burned a cd and installed ydl 4.0... but it skrewed up the booting a 
little bit... on the machine there were 3 OSes macosx, ydl2.0 and ydl3.0 
.. I replaced ydl3.0 with ydl 4.0 but now on boot I get options only for 
ydl4.0 and macosx .. ydl2.0 seems to have vanished from the options...

The partition which has the ydl 2.0 system is still in tact...

Can someone tell me how can I insert that boot option back into the boot 
loader? I really need it.

Thanks
Spundun
