Anoying effect of disk transplant -- RPM arch weirdness

I recently upgraded to a newer laptop from a Toshiba w/ a Pentium @
133Mhz to a Dell with a PIII @ 700Mhz. Rather than re-install CentOS 4
from scratch, I did a hard disk 'transplant'. The old laptop was a
i586 and the new one is a i686. I have upgraded all of the i586 RPMs
with i686 RPMs (including the kernel). But for some reason, the RPM
database insists that it is still a i586 and complains when I install
i686 kernels unless I use the --ignorearch option. While this is a
minor pain when using rpm directly, it is a major problem with yum,
since yum has no --ignorearch option and this makes updates a problem.
What do I need to do to 'fix' the RPM system so that it sees this laptop
as a i686 system and not a i586 system? (No, I don't want to do a fresh
re-install and re-do all of the upgrades.)
