After the first yum update:

Grub shows the original as:
vmlinuz-2.6.31.6-162.fc12.x86_64
Notice that it appears to have recognized this box as able to use 64
bit apps? I was surprised to see that after the install.
This is the arch issue I was talking about. Do a hiccup in the compose,
x86_64 kernel got pulled in. This is bound to confuse yum among other
things. You can download the 32-bit kernel and install it manually as a
workaround.

The question then becomes what is box 6? Is it capable of running as a a
64 bit computer? I do a lot of reconfiguration immediately after install
and yum collected 64 bit apps wherever possible and it all seems to be
working!
Do I need to wipe it out and start over? I'm not sure what I have for a
computer, it's always run 32 bit.
This F-11 [box9] computer I believe is 32 bit, it's about six months
earlier in manufacture.
But dmidecode for box6 [F-12] shows the following data:
