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.
