/bin/sh comes from the bash package (normally).
When upgrading/installing on a system I normally put all the package
names in a file, then use something like:
rpm -Uhv `cat filename`
from the directory with all the files.
Try do avoid using "--nodeps" if possible. The reason is RPM does some
magic, and will install packages to in the order to statisfy dependencies
(even circular one). When you use "--nodeps" it no longer does this. Try
removing the packages which it complains about..

RPM is confused most likely, you can ignore/suppress this with
"--ignorearch"

You mean 2.0.36, I take it? You might want to try a 2.2 kerenl. Either
way, do you have ELF support in your kernel?
