uname won't determine which processor the kernel was compiled for. Not
only that, it won't identify an athlon processor.
$ uname -m
i686
$ rpm -q kernel --qf "kernel-%{version}-%{release} is for %{arch}\n"
kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0 is for athlon
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 6
model : 8
model name : AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2600+
