It might help if you gave us some real information, like what hardware
you're running, which actual version of CentOS and the kernel you are
(and were) running, etc. Otherwise we're stabbing for a needle in a
haystack.
I don't ever remember running a 'yum update' when I was using the
32-bit version and having it update me to a 64-bit kernel. I had to
make that choice on my own first.
