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.
