These messages are not from standard Fedora Core packages and the 
snippet you gave does not indicate their origin, so it is hard to give 
specific help.  What third party kernel device drivers do you have 
installed?  SMP refers to the multiprocessor kernel, which in FC6 is 
no longer separate from the uniprocessor kernel.  If you read the 
Release Notes at:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc6/en_US/sn-Kernel.html#id2542638

it describes how to build kernel modules.
