yum update fails on a fresh install

Greetings,

 It seems that the ftp.yellowdoglinux.com mirror has had a
syncing problem. 
I'll contact them and ask them to refresh. Hopefully this
will be resolved 
shortly. Until then you might want to try another mirror.

Cheers,

Chris

Configuration: Powermac G4 Cube, 1GB RAM, 120GB HD, SanDisk
eXtreme 
Firewire CompactFlash reader (40 MBps sustained R/W), 4GB
266X 
CompactFlash card with OS X already installed.

Mac OS X 10.4 has been successfully installed on and run
from the 
CompactFlash card in this configuration. I want to install
YDL on it for 
occasional use and avoid disturbing the OS X installation
that's on the 
internal HD.

When yaboot started up from YDL 5.0.2 CD number 1, I
entered:

   install firewire

The installer loaded and brought up the graphical interface.
I switched 
to a command line with ctrl-alt-F2. The CF card could be
mounted 
(/dev/sde) and its contents listed. So the OS knew it was
there. 
Switching back to anaconda and proceeding through the
installation steps 
resulted in a warning regarding the internal hard drive:

" parted exception: Warning: Device /dev/hda has
multiple (0) logical 
sectors per physical sector.
GNU Parted supports this EXPERIMENTALLY for some special
disk label/file 
system combinations, e.g. GPT and ext2/3."

The options are Ignore and Cancel. I tried both on
successive 
installation attempts. The error occurs a second time.
Again, I tried 
both options. Answering Cancel both times results in a
message saying 
that no drive is available for installation. Answering
Ignore both times 
brings up a screen with partitioning options but listing
"hda" as the 
only drive available.

The syslog and anaconda.log files are attached as one long
text file in 
a Zip archive. Both show success in locating the Firewire
drive. See 
lines 526, 2446 and 2493.

I hope someone can suggest a way to get this configuration
to work.

YDL v5.x does not support installation to FireWire nor USB
drives. Only the 
drive internal to the machine. Support for FireWire drives
existed only in 
the v4.x product.
