    Also, if you want to manipulate the way the kernel uses a device,
    you can usually find it under a directory like:

    /proc/bus/
    or
    /sys/bus/

    Using this, you can (often) deactivate a device and if the
    motherboard supports it, pull it out and replace it without
    rebooting the machine.  Very handy for replacing PCI raid cards
    and faulty RAM without incurring any downtime.

        which bus and slot it sits in.  like if you wanted to know
        which card or whatnot to yank.

            I found the answer!

            there is a phrase in the lshw manpage that says -short is
            "very  much  like the output of HP-UX's ioscan.'

            A websearch for 'HP-UX's ioscan' brings up it's man page
            which states:


            /hw path/ A numerical string of hardware components, notated
            sequentially from the bus address to the device
            address. Typically, the initial number is
            appended by slash (*/*), to represent a bus
            converter (if required by your machine), and
            subsequent numbers are separated by periods (*.*).
            Each number represents the location of a hardware
            component on the path to the device.


            Could someone explain to me what 'the location of a
            hardware component' means?

                I was wondering, I can run lshw with the -short option
                and it gives me a list:

                H/W path  Device  Class  Description
                ============================================
                system Computer
                /0  bus  Motherboard
                /0/1  memory 3888MiB System memory
                /0/6  processor      AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+
                /0/0  memory         RAM memory
                etc...

                does anyone know what a 'H/W path' is?
