What's the output from grep -ir exclud /etc/yum.* ?

And how about from rpm -q kernel and also yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=base,updates --noplugins --showdupli list kernel ?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

You appear to be pointing to a base and updates set of repos that are massively out of date. Have you hard coded a baseurl= in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo for [base] and [updates] sections?

Not to my knowledge. Looks like there was one that is currently commented out. Here's the contents of CentOS-Base.repo:

Code: Select all

>cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo 
# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client.  You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the 
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

I also tried to use the baseurls as the comment in the file suggested... still no luck.

And what ip address does mirrorlist.centos.org resolve to from that server?

ping mirrorlist.centos.org
PING mirrorlist.centos.org (212.69.166.138) 56(84) bytes of data.

Interesting... that's different from my other (production) servers.

It's a pool of ip addresses served by DNS in a round robin. What I really wanted to check is that you didn't have your own mirrorlist.centos.org in dns or /etc/hosts and it appears that you don't because that ip is one of our mirrorlist machines.
