I had the same problem on my Athlon XP; try using the i586 binaries, worked like a 
charm for me.

Subject: Kernel Architecture Confusion


HI !

I just tried to install kernel-ntfs-2.6.5-1.358.i686.rpm under  FC 2 .

I received the error message: 

        package kernel-ntfs-2.6.5-1.358 is intended for a i686 architecture

Now, I'm pretty sure my machine is a 686 - it is a Celeron 1.3 GHz.

uname -a gives:  
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.5-1.358 #1 Sat May 8 09:04:50 EDT 2004 i686 \
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

uname -i gives 
i386, 

and the documentation says that uname -i gives:

`-i'
`--hardware-platform'
     Print the hardware platform name (sometimes called the hardware
     implementation).

The kernel rpm I have installed is kernel-2.6.5-1.358, and
rpm -q --queryformat "%{ARCH}\n" kernel returns:
i686


So, can anyone explain what's going on ?

TIA.
