Description

Detects hardware and can help with loading modules and mkinitcpio.conf-related setup. Hardware detection scripts support system configuration by identifying devices and needed kernel modules.

It is useful for installers, recovery tasks, distribution tooling, and administrators adjusting boot or hardware support. Changes related to initramfs or modules should be reviewed carefully because mistakes can affect booting.
