I had this problem as well, but I didn't report it because I thought it might 
have been a kmod interaction problem.

$ cat /etc/rpm/platform
athlon-redhat-linux

$ uname -a
Linux htpc.home.silfreed.net 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 #1 SMP Thu Nov 8 21:41:26 EST 
2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

I worked around it by installing the kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8.i686 individually 
(through yum).  The correct kmods were pulled in and I haven't had the i586 
kernel pop up again yet.
