Oh, I was not aware that cr is mirrored!
what I have in my yum config is

baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/cr/$basearch/

and it seems that cr is not in the mirrorlist system

$ wget -qO- http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5\&arch=i386\&repo=updates
http://...

but

$ wget -qO- http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5\&arch=i386\&repo=cr
Invalid repo
