Just tried to install RPMs to a RHEL 5.5 64-bit machine, failed too. #rpm -ihv --nodeps http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/RPMS/x86_64/syslinux-tftpboot-3.86-1.x86_64.rpm error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad Magic #rpm -ihv --nodeps http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/RPMS/x86_64/syslinux-tftpboot-3.84-1.x86_64.rpm error: unpacking of archive failed on file /tftpboot/chain.c32;4bbc5813: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch #rpm -ihv --nodeps http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/RPMS/x86_64/syslinux-tftpboot-3.83-1.x86_64.rpm error: unpacking of archive failed on file /tftpboot/chain.c32;4bbc58d3: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch Downloading RPMs from RedHat does work. Can someone help check the rpms? Regards, Danny

This is a very annoying problem with a change in the RPM format (without providing any backported support in newer RHEL releases or compatibility). Not good for something that is apart of the LSB standard :-/ -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
Yes, it was packaged using a newer release. I had to do a quick install of a Fedora system to unpack the RPM, and then I just dumped the files onto my EL5 system.
