Look in /etc/yum.conf and see what package it looks to for releasever. It's probably not set to centos-release, or you don't have centos-release installed. Mostly make sure that the package referenced in yum.conf is the right one, and is installed. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell
