Are you sure it's not an issue with your system?  Run
  rpm -q --qf '%{ARCH}\n' kernel kernel-smp
and if it shows "i586" then the problem isn't with livna, it's with
your machine which has gotten the wrong kernel installed due to an
installer bug.  I can't recall at the moment the procedure for fixing
that.

will get you a raft of help. This has been discussed on this list 
before, you can look through the February archives for more indications.
