Hi,
As you just want to change one option, I'd continue using the fedora kernel. This page can be useful:

Can one roll a kernel using the vanilla kernel rpm? I know you would need kernel-devel and possibly headers, but can it be done? I tried giving it a go, as the i686 kernel seems to be rolled with intel and I want to get all the gusto I can as I have an AMD-64 chip. Which, from what I'm seeming, is not checked off in the Fedora stock build. No, I'm not touching anything else as I'm plain afraid to do so. Got plenty of time for it to build 100 modules I'll never need. :) There used to be a HOW-TO at [3]fedora.redhat.com, but damned if I can find it. Ric --
The OP is not seeing the AMD64 stuff turned on in the kernel SRPM on his 32bit install.
If he wants a 64bit install, he should reinstall with the 64bit media, but most likely, the extra AMD-ness, and 32 extra bits aren't going to be all that noticable to him.
