the error implies that your media doesn't contain any x86_64 packages. are you sure that the media is x86_64 and not i386?
what does something like this return? ` ls /mnt/DVD/CentOS/ | grep x86_64 | head` if i mount a CentOS 5.5 x86_64 DVD and run that command i can see that there are indeed x86_64 pkgs: un...@server:~$ ls /mnt/loop/CentOS/ | grep x86_64 | head a2ps-4.13b-57.2.el5.x86_64.rpm acl-2.2.39-6.el5.x86_64.rpm acpid-1.0.4-9.el5_4.2.x86_64.rpm adaptx-0.9.13-3jpp.1.x86_64.rpm adaptx-doc-0.9.13-3jpp.1.x86_64.rpm adaptx-javadoc-0.9.13-3jpp.1.x86_64.rpm adjtimex-1.20-2.1.x86_64.rpm agg-2.4-2.1.x86_64.rpm agg-devel-2.4-2.1.x86_64.rpm aide-0.13.1-6.el5.x86_64.rpm if run against a CentOS 5.5 i386 DVD it should return nothing.
