I think that you won't find a i386.rpm file. You can search kernel versions here (i586, i686):

http://rpm.pbone.net/

But if you want to select the processor type specifically, you must download the source and compile by yourself.

Shalom Maaz,

You could yum it.

It is supposedly downloadable from http://fedora.redhat.com

It may have been declared legacy and made somewhat harder to find, but many mirrors do have the rpms still.

AFAIK, modern distros don't provide kernels for i386, but only for i586 (Pentium and up) and i686 (Pentium II/Pro and up).
BTW, do you really have PC with Intel 386 CPU?

Vitaly points out what I miss.

the i586 or 686 rpm will work just fine.

Hi Maaz,

You can download latest kernel from

ftp://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/distributions/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS
