I have two installations. One that works, and one that does not, so I
can compare. I want to point to a known good mirror, but haven't figured
out how to do that. I can probably just download the make rpm and
install it with rpm. But that feels like cheating :-). And only one
package seems to not exist. How does yum "remember" that? Is it perhaps
a rpm database thing?
I tried something else, reinstall yum:
# yum reinstall yum

Nothing to do

Exiting on user Command
What is special with this install is that I used PXE init disk to boot
the installation disk (I added an entry to an existing boot loader and
placed the initial ramdisk and vmlinux in /boot). Could the initial
installation source be the reason?

No package make available.
So this is the mirror for base:
http://mirrors.supportex.net/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/
http://mirrors.supportex.net/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/make-3.81-20.el6.x86_64.rpm
The mirror looks fine to me.
