You'll have to see what Matt's doing in the virt-v2v code for the details, but in general we have full access to: - grub.conf (to determine which kernel will boot) - the kernel image - the corresponding System.map and config - the modules directory - the Xorg config - boot.ini or BCD (to determine which NT kernel will boot) - the Windows Registry - the list of packages installed (to see if VMware-tools or some other guest agent is installed) So working out what drivers are available is just a tedious matter of iterating across each of these places in the filesystem.
