who were the six division commanders of the Army of the Tennessee at the beginning of the Battle of Pittsburg Landing?

Clark, Cheatham, Ruggles and Withers commanded what were designated as divisions that were incorporated into 2 corps commanded by Bragg and Polk. Hardee and Breckinridge commanded what were designated as corps, but were formations of three brigades each which made them effectively divisions.

Edit - The Army of the Tennessee was on the Union side.
