The warnings are harmless, the say you have to move your configuration
from /etc/modprobe.conf to files in /etc/modprobe.d

The FATALs are not nice, but effectively also harmless. For example they
say there is no module "ip_conntrack_ftp", because it is named
"nf_conntrack_ftp" in fedora.

But you do not need to load those modules manually - the kernel can load
them automatically if needed.
