You may also want to try lspci -v.  It shows you what modules the
hardware uses and it should be able to boot with those at least.  Example:

00:02.2 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (rev
a3) (prog-if 20 [EHCI])
        Subsystem: ABIT Computer Corp. Device 1c02
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
        Memory at e0003000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
        Capabilities: [44] Debug port: BAR=1 offset=0080
        Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2
        Kernel driver in use: ehci_hcd


The last line shows what modules my USB controller uses.  Also, those
are compiled in even tho it shows them as modules.

Hope that helps.
