If I am running the a i686 kernel, why do I get a kernel-devel with i586 in the name? My guess is it doesn't matter, but wondering why they aren't the same?
#uname -a
Linux hostname 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 #1 SMP Sat Mar 10 19:15:16 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I'm not sure you can trust the output of uname to tell you what kernel
you're running. I seem to recall it being i686 even on an i586 kernel,
if the CPU is i686. Or am I wrong?
More info about why you'd get an i586 kernel and a fix for the problem
here:

I have the opposite problem described in that link, but it may be worth trying.
I could be running x86_64 kernel, but am not for now...
