I tried "yum --enablerepo=rawhide update syslinux" on Fedora 9, and I get this:

Is there any feasible workaround for Fedora 9 while we're waiting for a fix to the underlying liveusb-creator bug:
Try
yumdowloader --enablerepo=rawhide --source syslinux rpm2cpio ../SRPMS/syslinux-3.75-1.fc11.src.rpm | \ (cd $(rpm --eval %{_sourcedir}) && cpio -imd) rpmbuild -ba $(rpm --eval %{_sourcedir})/syslinux.spec
(assuming, of course, that you have relevant pieces of a build chain installed and you need in this nasm). Install a resulting package for F9.
I just tried that and it works without any fuss. A mess with rpm2cpio, instead of a simple 'rpmbuild --rebuild syslinux-3.75-1.fc11.src.rpm', is caused by an inability of F9 rpm to unpack rpm packages from F11. You will get "cpio: MD5 sum mismatch" erorr and it does not seem to be a way to prevent that. Nasty!
