 Been getting this for the past few days:

/etc/cron.daily/yum:

Not using downloaded repomd.xml because it is older than what we have:
  Current   : Fri Feb 26 18:03:06 2010
  Downloaded: Thu Nov  5 20:40:44 2009

Then I ran yum clean all ; yum -d0 check-update  and got

ftp://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.centos.org/5.4/extras/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum

 Looks like there's a problem with the extras repo.
