After talking with Seth I realized that yum was in fact NOT
re-downloading all the rpm's in the nfs mounted
/var/cache/yum/server/packages directory -- it was re-downloading a FEW
of the rpm's where the architecture had "changed". lucifer (the first
host) is an Athlon; archangel is a dual celeron.
Once I fixed the mkinitrd/kernel dependency, the host updated 7.1->7.2
EXCEPT for a barf at the end when it tried to install/fix lilo:
Kernel Updated/Installed, fixing the bootloader
Lilo found - adding kernel to lilo and making it the default
Traceback (innermost last):
