Don't you have an /etc/init.d/lm_sensors init script which reads in
/etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? Which modules to be loaded should be defined
in there.

The Fedora kernel has kernel components as modules wherever it makes
sense as where possible. You can check in /boot/config-<kernel-versiony>

VID stands for Voltage ID. And it is normal that with some sensor chips
or how they are used by motherboard manufacturers these do not give
useful information. You then can use ignore VID in the sensors config.

I may be necessary or reasonable to adjust /etc/sensors.conf.
