James - Sorry for the lack of clarity.  Process was as follows:
1.  Use F12-DVD as Install Media for a VM using VirtualBox-OSE Version 
3.1.4. R56740 on an F12_x86 host system.

2.  # yum install koji on the F12 VM

3.  $ koji download-build --arch=noarch preupgrade-1.1.7-1.fc12

4.  # yum localinstall preupgrade-1.1.7-1.fc12...rpm

5.  preupgrade

Using this procedure both the i386 and x86 arch's passed on my box.

Sincerely,
Bob Lightfoot
