This is good news as this usually indicates that the motherboard can control some of the fans. In general automatic mode is preferred over manual mode, as it's cheaper, faster and safer. So if the fans are already under control, may I ask what problem you are trying to solve with pwmconfig and fancontrol? If automatic mode needs tweaking, settings are typically available in the motherboard setup tool. If for whatever reason you really want to use manual control, then you must explicitly ask pwmconfig to switch pwm1 and pwm2 to manual control mode. Until you do so, the script will refuse to perform any test on these outputs and will thus consider them as nonexistent.
