A file systems structures do not change accross architetures. So a PPC or X86_64 enviroment reads it the same way an i386 enviroment (if they programmed it right,and as far as I know xfs is). Now bootable partions accross different aritectures is another story :-) If your signature is correct your running FC3 test 2 (and upgraded the hell out of it), do a clean install and try RC2.
