Is there an x86_64 repo oops or is it just me?

[Trapper]

Yesterday I did an install of F11-64 alpha on a box and have not been able to do an initial yum update or install any apps via yum. I get the error message below at every mirror site that yum tries. Can I assume from this that there's an error in repomd.xml that's preventing an update? I can't seem to find anything out of whack here that's creating this issue.

A fresh 32 bit install updates just fine.

There was a problem with the metalink method.
Just comment that line and uncomment the mirrorlist= line
in the rawhide repo.

It runs but just takes a little longer to resolve.

Hmm, my yum is working perfectly. Only thing I noticed was having to clean up to get updates.

I did a clean up prior to posting Jake. Didn't work for me. I did comment out the metalink entry in the repo and uncommented the mirrorlist. That did the trick and allowed me to download 463 updates. Unfortunately halfway through the installs my terminal and the yum install simple phoofed off the screen. I tried a yum-complete-transaction but it said there was no transaction to complete. So, I did a yum update again and it said I had 230 or so updates available. Unfortunately I also had a "very large number" of dependency problems. This is a crapped up install. I will just start from scratch again and see how it goes. Thanks guys.

Here's the result of my reinstall. Install went just fine. My initial update was once again 463 updates and once again about halfway thru the updates yum went south on me. This time I was able to do a successful yum-complete-transaction. One major problem though after completion. I had no grub entry for the new kernel (2.6.29-0.137.rc5.git4.fc11.x86_64) and there is no initrd.img for kernel 2.6.29-0.137.rc5.git4.fc11.x86_64.

I guess I am just going to back off of the 64 bit for a while.
