It sounds like 'sha256' was selected when you created the channel,
resulting in the channel's repo being created with sha256 checksumming.
  This will only work on Fedora 11 unless you have the python-hashlib
package installed.   You have a couple options:

1.  Install python-hashlib on all your clients
2.  Change the checksum type to 'sha1' within the 'channel' -> manage
software channels -> CHANNEL NAME  page.  Then you'll need to wait a bit
for the repodata to be regenerated.

Hope that helps,
