If no previous database exists, kudzu attempts to determine what devices have already been configured, by looking at /etc/modprobe.conf, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Tag | Description |
---|---|
--usage | |
Show short usage message. | |
--help, -? | |
Print help information. | |
-q, --quiet | |
Run quietly; do only configuration that doesnt require user input. | |
-s, --safe | |
Do only safe probes that wont disturb hardware. Currently, this disables the serial probe, the DDC monitor probe, and the PS/2 probe. | |
-t, --timeout [seconds] | |
This sets the timeout for the initial dialog. If no key is pressed before the timeout elapses, kudzu exits, and /etc/sysconfig/hwconf is not updated. | |
-k, --kernel [version] | |
When determining whether a module exists, use the specified kernel version. (If this is not set, it defaults to the current kernel version.) Do not specify suffixes such as smp or summit; these are automatically searched. | |
-b, --bus [bus] | |
Only probe on the specified bus. | |
-c, --class [class] | |
Only probe for the specified class. | |
-f, --file [file] | |
Read hardware probe info from file file and do not do an actual probe. | |
-p, --probe | |
Print probe information to the screen, and do not actually configure or unconfigure any devices. |
Tag | Description |
---|---|
/etc/sysconfig/hwconf | |
Listing of current installed hardware. | |
/etc/sysconfig/kudzu | |
Configuration for the boot-time hardware probe. Set SAFE to something other than no to force only safe probes. | |
/etc/modprobe.conf | |
Module configuration file. | |
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* | |
Network interface configuration files. | |
Running kudzu to configure network adapters post-boot after the network has started may have unintended results.
