I'm following (and correcting where I can) the CentOS distribution howto here: http://linux-vserver.org/CentOS_HowTo

this is on a dual Opteron box, using the x86_64 arch, and I'm having a problem with yum.

It seems that the $releasever variable is not being set to "4" or "4.0", and so when yum attempts to grab info from the repository, it is trying to access

http://mirror.centos.org/CentOS/Null/updates/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml

instead of

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml

I tried the obvious step of exporting releasever=4, but that had no effect.

Can anyone help?

You should install the centos-release package, or whatever the package that provides redhat-release is called in CentOS.
