That doesn't look right. Create a ~/.rpmmacros file for your user and
root with the following line
%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
then rerun yum and see if the arch values listed are the same. With
the line above, instead of device-mapper-1.01.04-1.0.RHEL4 it should
show up as device-mapper-1.01.04-1.0.RHEL4.x86_64
