I've seen the same problem, there's a Windows panel that comes up saying =
that
the program has failed and Windows has to end it to avoid... bla, bla (th=
e usual
stuff).  CoLinux seems to keep working after that, network and everything=
 but
yum doesn't.

My solution was to shutdown FC5, make sure in the Task Manager that it wa=
s not
running  (several times it was still running along with the -daemon proce=
sses),
and start again.  The second time yum runs fine.
