I have two installations. One that works, and one that does not, so I can compare. I want to point to a known good mirror, but haven't figured out how to do that. I can probably just download the make rpm and install it with rpm. But that feels like cheating :-). And only one package seems to not exist. How does yum "remember" that? Is it perhaps a rpm database thing?

I usually try a 'yum clean all' first as a brute-force approach to anything that isn't working. It will clear all the cached stuff, including the preferred mirror (although it may pick the same one again with the fastestmirror test).
