you probably hit a bug in the installer which installed i586 kernels on i686. Therefore the kernel and kmdls don't match in arch. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/FC6Common#head-e0676100ebd965b92fbaa7111097983a3822f143 for explanation and how to fix it (e.g. replace the kernel with the proper one) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
