Is due to changes in the kernel etc, this is fixed with lm_sensors 2.8.8 and 
the latest kernel tree (I2C changes), not sure about Fedora's kernel though 
or what version of lm_sensors is with FC3,

Run "sensors" again, some of the Alarms may go (the ones that are set right) 
once things have settled down, especially after a reboot.

FYI, when you make changes to sensors.conf (its quite well documented in the 
file) to see the changes straight away you need to run "sensors -s" and then 
"sensors" for the changes to take affect.
