I have run into the same issue on both x86_64 and i386 boxes trying to
yum update.

device-mapper-1.02.39-1.el5_5.2.i386.rpm: [Errno -1] Package does not
match intended download
Trying other mirror.

Error Downloading Packages:
  device-mapper-1.02.39-1.el5_5.2.i386: failure:
RPMS/device-mapper-1.02.39-1.el5_5.2.i386.rpm from updates: [Errno
256] No more mirrors to try.
