i dont know if this is good advise, but i found this, just google it
hit ctrl-c; that's the key combination to kill any currently running process in a bash shell or terminal.
to find out what's locking up yum, try running:
# ps aux | grep yum
note the pid number of the process and run this to kill the process:
# kill (insert pid number)
check to see if the process has been killed by rerunning:
# ps aux | grep yum
if not, rinse and repeat until the process is killed; some processes can be very stubborn.
