Re: switching from i686 to athlon

["S. Gongola" <gongolas verizon net>]

I installed it with --ignorearch and it booted and works fine so far.
but when I try to install alsa it complains 

rpm -ivh kernel-module-alsa-1.0.2c-1.fr_2.4.22_1.2174.nptl.athlon.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
        package kernel-module-alsa-1.0.2c-1.fr_2.4.22_1.2174.nptl is intended 
for a athlon architecture

why does rpm still complain about the architecture.
