  That seems to be a strange error.  What is your /bin/sh pointing to?

  The code in question reads:


  arch=i386
  if [ $ARCH == "amd64" ] ; then
      arch=x86_64;
  fi

  I *think* that is portable shell - providing $ARCH is set..

  At this point I think that the previous failure means that
 /etc/yum.conf is not valid (inside the chroot).

  If if it is valid you can run:

    yum install yum

  If that gives errors then we'll know something is broken.

  That one is a manual thing.  There was an issue with urlgrabber not
 honouring keepalives, so I removed it.  :)

  Either might be good.
