E.3.3. /proc/bus/pci


Later versions of the 2.6 Linux kernel have obsoleted the /proc/pci directory in favor of the /proc/bus/pci directory. Although you can get a list of all PCI devices present on the system using the command cat /proc/bus/pci/devices, the output is difficult to read and interpret.
For a human-readable list of PCI devices, run the following command:
~]# /sbin/lspci -vb
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82X38/X48 Express DRAM Controller
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1308
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0
        Capabilities: [e0] Vendor Specific Information <?>
        Kernel driver in use: x38_edac
        Kernel modules: x38_edac

00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82X38/X48 Express Host-Primary PCI Express Bridge (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0
        Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=0
        I/O behind bridge: 00001000-00001fff
        Memory behind bridge: f0000000-f2ffffff
        Capabilities: [88] Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1308

00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [UHCI])
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 1308
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 5
        I/O ports at 2100
        Capabilities: [50] PCI Advanced Features
        Kernel driver in use: uhci_hcd
[output truncated]
The output is a sorted list of all IRQ numbers and addresses as seen by the cards on the PCI bus instead of as seen by the kernel. Beyond providing the name and version of the device, this list also gives detailed IRQ information so an administrator can quickly look for conflicts.
