Generally a person installs from some sort of Linux bootable device, CD, DVD, USB stick or something. If everything works as it should, the easiest way I know to get a list of drivers, lspci -k should work. If you want to narrow down to the drivers themselves, you can do it like this: root@fireball / # lspci -k | grep driver Kernel driver in use: pcieport Kernel driver in use: pcieport Kernel driver in use: pcieport Kernel driver in use: ahci Kernel driver in use: ohci-pci Kernel driver in use: ehci-pci Kernel driver in use: ohci-pci Kernel driver in use: ehci-pci Kernel driver in use: piix4_smbus Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel driver in use: ohci-pci Kernel driver in use: pcieport Kernel driver in use: ohci-pci Kernel driver in use: ehci-pci Kernel driver in use: k10temp Kernel driver in use: fam15h_power Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd Kernel driver in use: r8169 Kernel driver in use: dmfe Kernel driver in use: ahci root@fireball / # At that point, you can use those names to search for the driver and enable them. That's the way I've done it in the past and it gives you a very high chance of a working kernel for all hardware. If you want to see what each driver drives, just leave off the grep part. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
