Thanks for the response.
This rawhide started as a fresh Fedora 7 install. I then upgraded to
rawhide by switching repositories and manually taking care of the
inconsistencies. Because I used a dump of every system I have to get a
list of rpms to install it is possible I pulled in the i586 kernel rpm
from Fedora Core 6. There is no i586 image in boot though. Just one of
those anomalies, I guess.
I probably won't reimage as there are 4000+ packages and it would take
forever to get back.
I'll manually try to remove it continue to monitor.
