Any suggestions on getting this to install properly?

Thanks

your yum system is broken, check your /etc/yum.conf, try disabling the "exclude" list temporarily.

Alright, I commented out / disabled the "exclude" line from /etc/yum.conf and I still get the same error. My yum.conf looks like the following:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1

# Note: yum-RHN-plugin doesn't honor this.
metadata_expire=1h

# Default.
# installonly_limit = 3

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
# exclude=apache* httpd* mod_* mysql* MySQL* da_* *ftp* exim* sendmail* php* bind-chroot*



Any other ideas on what the issue is?

Thanks

you can try explicitly install those missing rpm

yum install ethtool mingetty module-init-tools

I actually got the issue fixed by adding

rpm_check_debug=False

to my /etc/yum.conf

Thanks for your help.
