Sounds like maybe it's building against the installer kernel instead of the
installed kernel.  If you're doing the module build during the kickstart
install, that's probably what's happening.

586 versus 686 is *NOT* 32 versus 64 bit.  It would say "x86_64" or similar
if it were 64-bit.  586 and 686 are both 32-bit identifiers.

You probably want to build it right, rather than force loading of the
module.
