Sorry, I will try to be more helpful.

I think you're right. Here is the situation explained in a bit more
detail.
1) Go to rhn.redhat.com in browser and delete all system profiles
2) up2date --register as root
3) Use existing account credentials (which currently has no systems).
The information included about hardware and network section says:
Redhat Linux version: 0.95 CPU Model: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1900+
Hostname cb.ath.cx CPU Speed 1599MHz
IP Address 127.0.0.1 Memory: 768 megabytes
(The memory has previously been seen to report 4MB).
4) After a progress dialog for a few seconds, the Up2date app shows
the following:
System Registered but Inactive
Important Registration Info
Invalid architecture and OS release combination (0.95,
athlon-redhat-linux)
Because the 2.6 test kernels for athlon arch were yanked, when I saw
the first words "Invalid architecture" I assumed this was a general
revocation of the athlon-specific packages, and that because up2date
felt it was on an Athlon machine it was never going to be able to get
any new packages... looks like I was completely confused and its the
same problem as you pointed out.
