Recently, I upgrade my kernel to 2.4.8 from a 2.2 kernel. During the process, my modutils files got overwritten by clean copies, losing all my hardware configurations. I unwisely did not make a backup of /etc before doing this.
My question is, is it possible to re-detect all my hardware and generate a new set of modutils files? Since the install program correctly identified my hardware, I must assume there is some way to generate this data. The reason I ask, is that the server is across town and I don't want to have to go over there to check what hardware is inside just to configure it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
