/proc/ide has useful information in it that you can't get easily by other means at the moment - which controller is driving the disks, what devices are present etc.

lspci relies on /proc/bus/pci - its the only part of the universe that actually knows how to handle PCI and virtualised PCI devices. Unlike the older /proc/pci interface it keeps all the complex gunk out of the kernel - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
