How to change "Up2date" Architecture?

I switched my Fedora hard drive from one machine to another.  The first 
was an AMD K6-2 (i586), the second was an AMD Athlon XP 2800.  All went 
well except for one thing---up2date still thinks I have an i586 instead 
of an Athlon.  There is a kernel update available, but up2date picks 
the wrong one.

In addition, I can't use RPM to instead the rpm directly.  I get a 
message about the file requiring an Athlon architecture and RPM quits.

How can I change the architecture?  Why does RPM now refuse to install.  
I can't use --force either.
