Use lsmod to show which modules are loaded.

And lspci and dmesg are handy places to check out the hardware your computer has detected.

Thankyou all the tools were extremely helpful

I have found all the hardware i needed

Just a shame these suggestions arent on any of the instructions to compile 2.6.x kernel faqs

i just have a "Kernel Panic - syncing error call init= " problem to address
any one know the common cause for that error?
