I'm hoping someone will either have a workaround or a suggestion for me.

I'm trying to get arcconf and the firmware updater for an IBM SAS RAID adapter. 
Sadly it seems the binaries that IBM supply are 32bit only and require 
/lib/ld-linux.so.2

So, I figure just to try 'yum install glibc.i686' - however that doesn't go 
according to plan:

# yum install glibc.i686

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Am I attempting to do this the wrong way or is something else playing up here?

You're running 6.2 beta? Try using that repo instead of 6x, which points to 6.1.


To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm using a beta or what...

The ISO I downloaded was from:
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/scientific/6/x86_64/iso/

I downloaded SL-61-x86_64-2011-11-09-Install-DVD.iso then installed yum-conf-sl6x. The stock repos enabled in sl.repo point to 6rolling.

I must be honest and say that I haven't really paid much attention to the whole 6.x / 6x / 6rolling.

Whats the difference between 6x and 6rolling? :\

Interestingly enough though, changing from 6x to 6rolling and trying a distribution-syncronisation shows only a handful of packages to change.
