This will work if all of the repositories are working (or failover if
I repository is offline/bad happens gracefully). What I've noticed can
happen is that if yum has an issue with one of the Fedora mirrors, the
whole update process fails, instead of using another mirror, or
ignoring the repository with the problem.

You can either tell yum to temporarily disable a repository (or
several), or (as I've mentioned earlier) update the repository
definition in /etc/yum.repos.d so that yum only tries to use a local
working mirror.

If the repository is called "extras" which mine is for FC4, try the
following command:

# yum --disablerepo=extras install ivtv-kmdl-$KVER

This should ignore the extras repo, and then use atrpms to install ivtv.
