.kvm roms (centos) - rsync'd local mirror slight issue.
 

Hi
I found a mirror which supports rsync and scripted:
rsync -avSHP --delete --exclude "local*" --exclude "isos" --exclude "drpms" --exclude "i386" anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk::CentOS/6.4/ /var/www/html/CentOS/6.4

which downloaded near 12GB, then did
createrepo .
on my local mirror

Got my test server and configured repo.d/my.repo to point to this new local http mirror. made a load of tests... includes:
yum update
yum install mysql-server

etc. etc. works fine until I try:

yum install kvm

and I get the output below which seems to be associated with roms (?)
I had a look to see if my rsync excludes made some files unobtainable but doesn't seem so...

Taking one line of the output:
Available: gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-6.9.el6.noarch (localupdate)
Not found

Then
[root@swift1 html]# find . -name 'gpxe-roms-qemu*'
./CentOS/6.4/os/x86_64/Packages/gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-6.9.el6.noarch.rpm
./CentOS/6.4/updates/x86_64/Packages/gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-6.9.el6.noarch.rpm


Can someone please throw a few clues in my direction regarding this please?
I know if I don't fiddle with the standard *.repo's on Centos 6.4 I have no problems.

Many thanks
Kevin

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]#

I'm having the exact same problem. brand new install of centos 6.4 x64, yum update to all newest, then run yum install kvm and get the same as you above. I have tried making a softlink from /usr/share/gpxe to /use/share/ipxe but after it didn't work I realized that kvm is looking for files that apparently ipxe doesn't deliver. There are lots of files in ipxe but none of the ones its complaining about. i'm going to go rogue and try to find an rpm of the gpxe and force it on there, since apparently the obviated failover from gpxe to ipxe isn't working in yum.
