The latest NVidia GLX 7167 FC3 RPMs from Livna come only for i586 architecture. Previously, the driver was available for both i586 and i686. I'm able to install the i586 RPM (along with the kernel-module-nvidia driver RPM of the same version) but it is incompatible with the i686 kernel I'm running.

Is there a reason Livna is not supplying the i686 RPM? I haven't noticed any mention of this in recent posts. Should this be entered as a bug? I've come to rely on Livna for hassle-free NVidia driver support and I'm not interested in recompiling NVidia's incremental driver updates. Please advise.
It looks like a bug to me.
My workaround was to grab the SRPM and rebuild it with "rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686" and it builds and installs with no problem.
I didn't file the bug, so go ahead.
