[as previously posted]

Can you check your kernel and kernel-dev packages to make sure the right
(and matching) arch was installed?  Just run

rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\t%{ARCH}\n' kernel*

and make sure you have:

kernel-headers  i386
kernel-devel    i686
kernel  i686

There was a bug in the anaconda installer that installed the 586 kernel
w/ the 686 dev package on i686 machines.

reply back (or look through similar threads) for a fix.
