I had the same thought, and the base vmware guest that I created was 64
bit, so I went back and created a 32 bit version, and attached the
external hard drive, that didn't seem to make a difference, I was also
booting off of an x86_64 rescue CD so perhaps that is a factor as well.
I was able to make some progress with yum distribution-synchronization
--skip-broken and since then I've been able to install some packages
specifying the .i686 at the end of the listings.
For whatever reason many packages when processing dependencies are
defaulting to the x86_64 version, so I have to go back and manually
install each dependency
after that completed I was about to install grub, but when trying to
install a kernel I still have a lot of processed dependencies.
How do I check if bowser knows what boot partition it should use?
So far I was able to make some
