$ rpm -qa --queryformat="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}.rpm\n" | grep kernel kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i586.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i386.rpm kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i586.rpm
 * List of kernel rpm pkgs with arch info:

$ sudo rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm --replacepkgs --replacefiles Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:kernel-devel          ########################################### [ 50%] 2:kernel                ########################################### [100%]
 * Replace i586 arch kernel rpm pkgs and files with i686 arch kernel rpm pkgs and files:

$ rpm -qa --queryformat="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}.rpm\n" | grep kernel kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i386.rpm kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm
 * Verify if you have i686 arch kernel rpm pkgs:


 * Please note, kernel-headers should be i386 arch rpm pkg.
