The reference to 'sensors' has to do with drivers detecting temperatures 
and fan speeds on your motherboard. lmsensors is the package.  Looks 
like there's an error associated with the configuration of them.  You'll 
find them in /etc/sensors.conf

Seems your module is expecting another to be preloaded.  Usually it will 
display the symbol name though.  '-1' that's wierd.  Do you have other 
generic sound modules installed? (soundcore, snd..)
