I didn't know K6-3 is so much different from Athlon, but I had the same
problem booting a disk installed for P-III on a Pentium. The solution
was to also install libc for 386 (from RH CD). I think it was a bit
problematic, and I had to use --force, but it did work.
RH72 has almost all of its packages compiled for 386, kernels for many
different CPUs, and glibc for two: 386 and 686. I thought K6-3 is 686
(Pentium II) compatible, which means it should have worked, but you can try
386 anyway.
If you care for performance, you can also compile yourself glibc that is
optimized for e.g. Pentium, and might be a bit faster than for 386 and
still work on both K6-3 and Athlon. This is of course more work than
rpm --force.
