CentOS - Aug 2006 - 3.8 update/x86_64 kernel?

After updating a very old x86_64 3.x install to 3.8 it still
has kernel-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.  Then if I repeat the
yum update command, it offers to install kernel 2.4.21-47.EL.ia32e.

Neither of these situations seems quite right.

What is your cpu? (/proc/cpuinfo)
What does rpm think is your architecture?
(rpm --showrc| head)

If you think it's a bug, please fill a report at http://bugs.centos.org

Thanks,

I think having ia32e in there is a bug, but I'm not sure where it
belongs.  It may be left from some old version of the installer.
What current x86_64 kernel should be installed and do you have any
suggestions on how to fix things?
