The first thing you might want to try is to disable mirrorlist in the elrepo.repo file. Try running:

# sed -i 's/^mirrorlist=/# mirrorlist=/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo

# sed -i 's/^mirrorlist=/# mirrorlist=/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo

Good! You were probably accessing a mirror site that was broken.

Now closing the ticket as "resolved".
