You just have to use the i686 version to access this. There certainly IS an option in 2.6 for Athlon- it is CONFIG_MK7, in the kernel config menu it is under "Processor type and features --> Processor Family" (with Subarchitecture type set to "PC-compatible"). Note: I've been using the kernel-source rpm to build custom kernels, rather than trying to use the kernel SRPM (I also am not yet up to the latest FC2 kernel on my laptop), so I can't say what the issue is with the original poster, but I suspect he'll need to update the spec file as well as the kernel config used in the SRPM.
