[gentoo-user] Kernel drivers and modules list

[gentoo-user] Kernel drivers and modules list

[Raphael MD]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 750 bytes --]

Hello everyone,

I’ve booted my system with a gentoo live cd, just to figure out my system
drivers and modules to configure the kernel, because it’s difficult to
realize what drive my intel Ethernet card uses and many others.

Are there  some command to extract that list to configure the kernel?

In fact, are there some manual to help to configure the kernel in the best
way?

 Usually I configure my Zen processor, put my schedule, and set preemptive
kernel to low latency and put out every other drive.

Thanks!

Hi Raphael,

I have a good manual for kernel config.
I saved the website of 'Firas Khalil Khana' called 'dotslashlinux'

I can send it to you via mail.

Please tell me.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you here, but it seems like [1] might be of  help,
providing you can access the details of your connected devices with `lspci`  and
`lsusb`.

For example, if I wanted to set up my Ethernet card, I would run

        $ `lspci | grep -i ethernet`
        00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2)
                I218-V (rev 05)

and then use "Intel" (vendor) and "I218-V" (name) at [1] to find that  I  needed
to  enable  CONFIG_E1000E,  CONFIG_ETHERNET,  and  CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_INTEL  [2].

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.

You can still read all 18 parts of that documentation online at
