bad repo in redhat 6.1 x64 DVD

We use the DVD as the source, try to use yum to install some package like libuuid.i386, but failed.

 

I found the repo in the DVD is uncompleted

 

The following steps is to r-create the repo.

 

Create a file named RH61-Media.repo in the
/etc/yum.repos.d folder.

 

Add following content to RH61-Media.repo
and save the file.

 

[RH61-Media]

name=RedHat-$releasever - Media

baseurl=file:///mnt/cdrom

gpgcheck=0

enabled=1

 

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom –t iso9660

 

yum install libuuid.i386

Loaded plugins: product-id,
refresh-packagekit, subscription-manager

We cannot install some packages on Redhat
6.1 x64, it is the Redhat 6.1 DVD source issue, the repo in the DVD is bad.

 

Please follow up the steps below, re-create
