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.
