Don't know why the kernel says it's an i386. Kernel bug? Gateway
purchase?
i386 is the architecture, in there you have processor flavors
which can be i386 (generic), i486, i586 and i686 tuned. C5 only
carries the generic i386 (default compile options) and the i686
tuned binaries, i586 tuned binaries are no longer being supported
after C4.
What does this say my cpu is:
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 5
model name : Pentium II (Deschutes)

The uname output is valid for your install, the question now is
why rpm refuses to install valid architecture binaries on your
system.
So, my cpu is not an i686?
a P-II should be. i686 is everything from the Pentium Pro onwards,
including P-II, P-III, P4, core, and the various clones. it does NOT
include the original Pentiums (p5 and p54) or 'pentium w/ MMX', those
are i586.
