Description of problem:
I am doing a complete system re-install via kickstart on RH9. 
I have included stuff to also update to the latest kernel in the %post
section. During the update I get messages similar to those reported in
Bug# 88720.

Therefor on reboot, I have tried rpm --rebuilddb, etc., then tried
removing the lock files, as per "workarounds" for similar reported
problems, but it dosent fix it.

# rpm -v --rebuilddb
error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy
# ls -l /var/lib/rpm/__db*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        16384 Mar 16 16:43

/var/lib/rpm/__db.003
# /bin/rm /var/lib/rpm/__db*
# rpm -v --rebuilddb
error: db4 error(16) from dbenv->remove: Device or resource busy
#

Bugs # 83281 and 89717 also seem to be similar, but due to up2date,
not kickstart.
