question about building a custom kernel

[Jamie Griffin]

Hi

I have been reading the handbook to learn about building a custom
kernel, but just wanted to ask something about gathering information
about my hardware before I give it a go. 

The handbook suggests the command:

# pciconf -lv 

...which I like because it provides a clear list of components I can find
out about before I try to build the new kernel.

On my system, this command does print out information for quite a few
components, I just wondered if this information is all I need to work
from or is it not an accurate or detailed enough representation of the
hardware I have in my computer. I'd really appreciate any advice on how
others go about this.
