could you give the exact error message, also what kernel you're running now, and any changes you may have made to /etc/yum.repos.d/* ?

I have a similar problem. Dual PIII Dell server.

Following the directions to upgrade from 5.2 -> 5.3. I ran "yum clean all" and "yum update glibc" successfully. Though when trying to do a yum upgrade I receive the following errors:

I'm currently on kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5

I had no problem upgrading two recent installs, but this is an older install that I do not update as regularly.

Interesting.....I thought that i686 used instructions only available on later processors, i.e. i486 and pentium III do not have the later instruction set to accept compiled code for i686..... I'm no expert, but that is why there are i386, i686 and x86_64 type packages to cater for various processor types. HTH

pentium-III is a i686, as is pretty much everything since Pentium Pro

i386 - 386 i486 - 486 i586 - pentium, pentium w/ mmx i686 - pentium pro, p-II, p-III, p4, core/core2/etc.

I simply mentioned the CPU type because it had been done previously by the op. I'm confident the issue has nothing to do with the CPU or kernel type. The issue appears to be with some (or all) of the mirrors under certain configurations. I was hoping someone with more yum/mirror/repo experience would be able to spot the problem if I squeaked - I'm sure it's something I can work around, but I wouldn't want it to impact others.

Google indicates "Requested Range Not Satisfiable" is actually an HTTP error (not specific to yum). The description of the error indicates that my browser (yum) requested a segment of the file that does not exist... e.g, bytes 10-1000 of a 100 byte file. I'm thinking that this file is possibly corrupt or the mirrors think the file is larger than it actually is? just a guess...

or there is a proxy ( even a transparent one ) that isnt playing nice. perhaps shift to using only ftp:// mirrors, is one option
