yum install what?

"installation" meaning "New host" in the web admin? Something else?

The word "task" has a quite specific meaning in the engine, and installation
of a host is not a task. Generally speaking, AFAIK, you can't easily cancel
a task.

To debug host installation, while the installation is running, you can check
/tmp of the host. You should be able to find there stuff of ovirt-host-deploy,
which is the program running on the host to deploy it. If you manage to find
the log, please check/post it. Thanks.
