Fore reference: The "cpio" difference is in the "c" option on an extract. By my recollection: RedHat announced (aeons ago) that they were changing "c" to mean "not create" whereas previously it had meant "create". I think this was to do with POSIX changes but I am not sure.
Then - after a gap - they made the change with no new announcement (because it had been announced a long time ago). My recollection may be hazy after this time - but it was definitely the meaning of "c" on cpio that was reversed. The resolution was to modify the installation script from: cpio -icvdumB to cpio -ivdumB The may be no more than modifying the case statement in uv.load to cater for the response passed back from uname - make it the same as the RedHat Linux case statement which does I believe cater for this. Worth noting: On some systems the response from "uname" is wholly customisable - it can play merry hell with the installation script sometimes as it tries to work out what on earth we are installing on and defaults to "case 1".
