Maybe you are running the i586 arch kernel without realizing it.  It
looks like the i586 kernel doesn't get the HDAPS module.  Run:

rpm -q --queryformat "%{ARCH}\n" kernel

to see what arch you are running.  FC6 has a nasty issue with
occasionally installing i586 kernels on i686 capable systems at random
times.
