	In cases like this, I would strongly suggest going to the
 alternate console, and running lspci (cat /proc/pci); and determining
 which drivers work for the hardware discovered there,

	Hmm. I guess the canonical place _I_look is the documentation
 found in the kernel, but that is not readily availalbe unless you
 have a second machine.
