Take a look at /etc/rpm/platform. My system is an i686 and the file

If yours is different you might need to change it.
That was the key! I spent hours poking around in /usr/lib/rpm before I
found it. Changing the contents of /etc/rpm/platform from
i586-redhat-linux to i686-redhat-linux got RPM to install i686 packages
without complaint.
I found that the easiest way to get the i686 versions of openssl and
glibc installed was to simply use rpm -Uhv --force.
I also had to clear out /var/spool/up2date before up2date would
recognize that the latest kernel wasn't installed. (I had previously
installed the i586 version of 1.766_FC3 via up2date. I installed the
i686 version of 1.760_FC3 and then removed 1.766_FC3. At this point,
the RHN applet told me that 1.766_FC3 was available, but up2date kept
saying that everything was current. Clearing out /var/spool/up2date
fixed that problem.)
Thanks!
As a note to this post I use FC3 since it's release and checked this
file and it returns: "/etc/rpm/platform/athlon-redhat-linux" I thought
Athlon specifics were obsolete.
