Linux installation: IRQs and IORs and such



While  contemplating  a  major  upgrade  of  this  linux,  I've  been
wondering:   Is  there a straightforward way to get all the IRQ, IOR,
and other such config information out of the  current  linux  system?
The  install  instruction  seem to generally suggest that you use the
W95 tools.  But this seems to mean wandering  around  in  a  maze  of
little  windows  (all  alike), writing things down by hand, and never
being sure that you've got it all.  Since the linux kernel must  also
know  all that stuff (else it couldn't access the hardware), it seems
that there oughta be a way to dig it out and print out a copy for use
in building the next kernel.

There are a few such numbers in /etc/boot.log, but  not  nearly  all.
I've dug around in various HOWTOs with no luck.

Another possibility, of course, is that W95 has a way  to  produce  a
summary  table.   But I haven't stumbled across a clue that they ever
thought of such a thing, and their philosophy does seem to be one  of
lots of little individual config windows.
