This shouldn't happen, but it won't cause any adverse results... what 
distro source were you using for the import?  (i.e. RHEL 4 DVD?  rsync 
mirror?).   If you can
give me further info I'll take a look at see what's wrong with the 
auto-detection.

Cobbler uses the arch field to decide when to set up for different 
bootloaders, such as "ia64" implying elilo.   It doesn't pay attention 
to the difference between
x86 and x86_64 as it uses syslinux either way.  

If you want to fix it, you can run:

cobbler distro edit --name=foo --arch=x86_64
