Determining linux drivers for PE machines

[Terry Gliedt]

We are using various PE machines in a cluster running Debian SARGE. For 
the install process I must make a modified 2.4 or 2.6 kernel on a 
non-cluster machine and install it on the cluster machine. Most of the 
kernel uses modules (e.g. little compiled in).

During the install I invoke mkinitrd to create the initrd image. At this 
point I modify /etc/mkinitrf/modules with the list of critical drivers 
(e.g. disk drivers) that are needed to make the pivot.

All of this process is automated with scripts, but everytime we order 
some new PE machines, I have the devil of a time guessing what device 
drivers I need to put in the modules list. Is there a source somewhere 
that would tell me these details?

TIA
