 From Jarod's guide:

"Also, while there is no harm in simply leaving it be, you might want to 
do something with lm_sensors, to eliminate "Failed!" warnings at 
startup. The lm_sensors init script was enabled at some point during all 
the updates, but isn't necessary for a functional MythTV box. There are 
two routes to take here. First, you can go and actually configure 
lm_sensors for your motherboard and sensor chipset, providing you with 
some monitoring of your system's temperatures, fan speeds, voltages, 
etc. Second, you can simply issue the command (as root) "/sbin/chkconfig 
lm_sensors off"."

So the easiest fix is just run:

# /sbin/chkconfig lm_sensors off
