I'm not sure you can trust the output of uname to tell you what kernel

if the CPU is i686. Or am I wrong?

cat /proc/version

will say SMP for i686 and .. err.. something else... (i586?) for i586 builds. And that is coming straight out of the kernel itself.

Another way:

modinfo ext3

should show i686 as part of the vermagic near the end.

I think it is a bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233370

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2007-March/msg00407.html

So what were the results of the tests above?  Also try

rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{arch}\n" | grep kernel

and you might find that one or more of your installed *kernels* is i586... that was an anaconda bug in FC6. In that case yum installing the i586 kernel-devel is understandable, not a bug.

nope

# rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{arch}\n" | grep kernel kernel-2.6.19-i686
kernel-2.6.20-i686
