Yum Arch Kernel Problem

[Richi Plana]

Hi,

I have a GenuineIntel Processor (cpu family 6, model 11) with
kernel-2.6.23.1-42.i686 installed. Whenever I try to do anything with
the kernel (ie. install the latest kernel -49), yum insists on
installing the i586 version of the old kernel.

Now, I'm not an expert on CPU architectures, but I thought the Intel
Pentium(R) III was an i686. Am I wrong? If not, what could have caused
this and how do I fix it? yum bug?
