Hi,

Give this command to find out scsi devices

#cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Give this command to find out PCI devices

#cat /proc/pci

To find out IDE devices

#cat /proc/ide

Hi U Si,

I can't the tape device by the command
"#cat /proc/scsi/scsi", is there any other method to check it?

[U.SivaKumar_2]

That means your machine don't have SCSI controllers.

cd /proc/sys/dev

you'll find all the information about the devices identified by the system at Boot time

use cat command to view the information
