But the above tells you nothing about what architecture the kernel was
optimized for. The "i586" above refers to the machine's processor, and
has nothing to do with the kernel arch.
The rpm command above will tell you what arch the kernel was built for,
but as Ben pointed out, only if the kernel was installed via rpm.
