Now you have hit the bug in rpm in the 9.0 release, it attempts to
do O_DIRECT but sends a misaligned buffer. You need to run rpm with
the environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL set to 2.2.5.
Newer rpm packages from rpm.org do not have this problem.
The reason this does not show in normal redhat setups is they have
O_DIRECT turned off in the kernel. We have it enabled for XFS.
