I have, Milan, although the environment and hardware conditions are different. Every time I have tried to install our x686 RPMs on 32-bit Mandriva on an AMD Athlon 64 box I get a stop message from RPM that states "incompatible hardware", without any detail. The tarball installs work fine though, so it seems to be an RPM thing. If it's a bug in RPM, it has been around for quite a while, i.e., since v.2.1 was first released.

If the OP was attempting an RPM install, maybe he needs to go the other route?
