Suggestion, in the messages printed by the kernel during booting, look at the message for the behavior you're doing research on, and use recursive "grep" in the kernel sources to find files containing a word or phrase in that message. I was going to do that for you, for some representative subsystems, but I'm on my work machine which doesn't have the sources installed. I don't think Linux has a specific "mainboard driver" like Windows does; hardware initialization is done with the subsystems (e.g. memory management) to which it's relevant, and where necessary the actions are conditional on the chipset, with both run-time tests and the possibility to exclude a whole class of processors/chipsets at compile time. For autofs the kernel's generic filesystem code cooperates with a userspace daemon, and this is all happening at a hardware independent level. James F.
