Everything mostly works, but a lot of the on board hardware (sound in particular) isn't the same as the old board. I know the installation process (sarge installer) does a great job finding out what I have and setting it up. How can I "re-discover" the hardware on this machine and remove/add modules accordingly?

While systems may do some kind of auto-detect of the hardware when they start, I find it difficult to believe that they would actually go through and rebuild the modules conf files at every boot (auto config rather then auto-detect).1. comment out everything in /etc/modules (those entries have nothing to do with this system)
I already have discover installed. IFAIK it came with the initial installation (sarge installer RC2 based) and has been there ever since.
I should expect discover to rebuild the modules.conf file? (sounds like "Yes").I take it discover is not able (ever or yet) to modify the modules.conf file based on new/different hardware detected? This is a bit of a stretch and won't apply to 99% of the userbase, but I just thought I would ask.
