Need to force arch for server install...

[root at gaia core]# find -type f | grep "\.rpm\$" | grep -v 
"\.noarch\.rpm\$" | grep -v "\.i386\.rpm\$"
./3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/glibc-2.3.3-74.i686.rpm
./3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/nptl-devel-2.3.3-74.i686.rpm
./3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-2.6.9-1.667.i586.rpm
./3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-2.6.9-1.667.i686.rpm
./3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-smp-2.6.9-1.667.i586.rpm
./3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-smp-2.6.9-1.667.i686.rpm
./3/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/openssl-0.9.7a-40.i686.rpm

So basically only the kernel, the glibc and the openssl packages are not 
noarch or i386.  Replacing those with the generic i386 packages would 
(most likely) suffice.  No idea why the nptl-devel package has an i686 
version.

I also fail to see any athlon packages (kernel or otherwise)...
