PCI devices? Add the "lspci" command to your system. Or walk through the /sys/bus/pci directories manually to get vendor and device ids and check them against http://pciids.sourceforge.net/. Then rebuild your kernel with these drivers enabled. > So my question is, is there any way to > figure out the common devices and load it driver by itself at the bootup > time. If you want to know something about your system, use the sys/. Its not easy to do so manually, but there are many tools around that could help you. Most of them based on the sys/ content. > Someone suggested me to use the diethotplog but I don't know how to use > that.

IMHO, hotplug will not help. What kind of drivers it should load if you didn't compile them?
