Hi,

I moved my files from one to another NFS Server. Nothing, always the 
same error.
The one server was a Supermicro dual Xeon and the other an Tyan dual 
Opteron.

Could there be something wrong with my mirror or my ramdisk?

I do the mirror with

rsync -avzlH --exclude=sites/Fermi --exclude=errata/debuginfo 
--exclude=errata/obsolete --exclude=ia64 --exclude=iso --exclude SRPMS 
rsync://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/scientific/4x/ /data/mirror/SL/4x/

I changed the kernel and the modules from the default pxe image, cause I 
need the bmc5700 module.
But that shouldnt be a problem, or?
