I never asked for a version of hwmon; I asked which hwmon drivers you
were using on your system.
It probably doesn't matter anyway. Looking at lm-sensors' changelog
[1], I see the following:
3.0.3 (2008-09-28)
(...)
pwmconfig: (...)
Fix MINSTOP and MINSTART test functions (#2340)
Test MINSTOP before MINSTART
Use better step values for MINSTOP test
(...)
Determine MINSTOP automatically
Skip MINSTOP and MINSTART tests if fan can't stop
This makes it clear to me that the problem you reported is known and
already fixed in lm-sensors 3.0.3 and later. So all you have to do is
upgrade to lm-sensors 3.0.3 or later. If you don't want to for any
reason, note that pwmconfig is a standalone script, so you can just
copy the one from lm-sensors 3.0.3 [2] and run it from wherever you
like.
