looks like smart, isnt.
hah! you're right. though, i must say, it's usually the other way
around. have a good day.
Are you sure you *have* the i686 kernel installed? There's an FC6
installer bug where it will install the i586 kernel (and kernel-devel) on
some systems that should have the i686 kernel installed. The workaround
is to manually force-upgrade the kernel to the equivalent i686 version
(uninstall and reinstall kernel-devel too) and reboot.
