 +====== Illegal Instruction CentOS 6 Bug Fix ======
  
 +When updating yum or trying to install new packages or regular updates on a CentOS 6 system, you may run into an error like the following:
 +
 +<code>
 +root@server [~]# yum update
 +Freeing read locks for locker 0x5: 425388/140510239045376
 +Freeing read locks for locker 0x7: 425388/140510239045376
 +Freeing read locks for locker 0x8: 425388/140510239045376
 +Freeing read locks for locker 0x15: 425388/140510239045376
 +Freeing read locks for locker 0x17: 425388/140510239045376

 +Illegal instruction
 +</code>
 +
 +This is likely caused by a known bug in the nss-softokn package as described here: [[https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=10930]]
 +
 +To resolve this, simply run the following command:
 +
 +<code>
 +export NSS_DISABLE_HW_AES=1; yum upgrade
 +</code>
 +
 +Once you have updated that package as part of the yum upgrade, the bug will be patched and you won't see it again.
