<div>Also, if you want to manipulate the way the
kernel uses a device, you can usually find it
under a directory like:<br>
<br>
</div>
/proc/bus/<br>
</div>
or<br>
</div>
/sys/bus/<br>
<br>
</div>
Using this, you can (often) deactivate a device and if the
motherboard supports it, pull it out and replace it
without rebooting the machine. Very handy for replacing
PCI raid cards and faulty RAM without incurring any
downtime.<br>

<p>there is a phrase in the

"very much like the output of

<p>A websearch for 'HP-UX's

</p>
<p><i>hw path</i> A
numerical string of hardware
components, notated<br>
sequentially from the bus address
to the device<br>
address. Typically, the initial
number is<br>
appended by slash (<b>/</b>), to
represent a bus<br>
converter (if required by your
machine), and<br>
subsequent numbers are separated
by periods (<b>.</b>).<br>
Each number represents the
location of a hardware<br>
component on the path to the
device.<br>

'the location of a hardware
