It sort of looks like a bug, but it isn't. Cobbler determines the "arch" bits based on the paths you import. As the standard rsync/build trees (well, RHEL really doesn't have them -- Fedora and RHEL derivatives do), typically say x86_64 or i386 in them, it uses the presense of these tokens in the part to ID the distro.

If you are importing from a DVD, this shouldn't happen.

Basically the names don't mean anything, so you can just do the following and will be fine:

cobbler profile rename --name=rhel4-i386 --newname=rhel4-x86_64 --arch=x86
cobbler distro rename --name=rhel4-i386 --newname=rhel4-x86_64 --arch=x86

The arch field really isn't needed except for distinguishing that things are /not/ ia64 boxes, which require different baremetal boot loader setup.
