Generally a fresh re-install is clearly recommended. But what you could
test (with a full valid backup) is following:
yum install $(rpm -qa --qf '%{name}.%{arch}\n' | grep i386 | sed -e
's/i386/x86_64/g')
And additionally to install those packages as x86_64 arch which are
installed as i686 arch already.
if you have a file /etc/rpm/platform, then adjust it or delete it. Once
all x86_64 packages required installed and kernel & grub proper, reboot.
The command "arch" should print out "x86_64" if I did not
miss a detail
others on this list may know. You then can yum remove the ix86 rpms.
I did not test this. Act with care and a backup.
