x86 discoverability is over ratedx86 discoverability is over ratedPosted Aug 28, 2011 20:35 UTC (Sun) by robbe (guest, #16131)In reply to: x86 discoverability is over rated by giraffedata Parent article: The udev tail wags the dog
As I understand it: the kernel gets its info from the BIOS (x86), bootloader or device tree. It puts the information in /sys/devices, on my x86-box under platform/, system/, and LNXSYSTM:00/ -- userspace can read the gory details there.
Seems like on this device-tree system some device is not ending up under /sys/devices, or too little actual info is put there, although the kernel had it handed to it via the device tree.
