I'm not sure you can trust the output of uname to tell you what kernel you're running. I seem to recall it being i686 even on an i586 kernel, if the CPU is i686. Or am I wrong?
cat /proc/versionwill 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. -Andy
