However with the first run of --installroot you don't have an rpmdb, and so $releasever is unset. With newer versions of yum you can use --releasever=/ etc. but for older versions of yum you'll have to edit all your .repo files and manually change the $releasever to something. > /mnt/stage2/var/cache/yum/addons/mirrorlist.txt > Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: addons -- James Antill -- [email protected] http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/releases http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/whatsnew/3.2.29 http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumMultipleMachineCaching
