In other words - convert an i386 to ia64. I don't care about the applications, just the kernel.
Actually, it'd be converting i386 to x86_64.
Quite right. I mean to upgrade to x86_64 - not ia64

The problem is ... you would need all the other things that the kernel requires also to be installed in the x86_64 mode (pretty much most of the core and base groups from the install CD).
It would be much safer to do a new install ... though technically possible to create a chroot ... use yum to install x86_64 target stuff into the chroot and figure out what you need, then install that into the main root. I have never done this, but it should be possible.
