Good initiative, but since the layer beneath also fails
(rpm) maybe we should
start there. rpm -qi kernel or maybe bad stuff in
/etc/sysconfig kernel.
The interesting error from RPM suggests that it thinks the
machine is an i586
(or atleast not i686).
indeed, lets add....
$ cat /proc/cpuinfoto the possibly interesting info to post here...
Sure, C5 kernels only come in the i686 or x86_64 variety.
Maybe the OP's rpm thinks it's on x86_64?
'package kernel-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5 is intended for a i686 architecture'
is the kind of error one would see when installing i386 on x86_64, the kernel rpm file has a list of unsupported architectures and it will spit out this error when installing i386 on x86_64.
