I swapped a HD between an i586 (AMD K6-2, 500MHz) and an i686 (AMD Athlon XP2800). Most of the new hardware for video and network NICs were recognized when I first booted with the Athlon and all appears to work well except for one thing. There is a kernel update for Fedora core 1. When running up2date, up2date still thinks I'm running an i586 instead of an Athlon. Also, $HOSTTYPE = i386 instead of i686. If I download the correct RPM and try to install it, I get a message indicating the rpm is for a Athlon architecture and drops back to the command line. I'm running rpm 4.2.1-0.30 off the Fedora core 1 ISO. How can I correct this?
