dmesg

dmesg will give us details about hardware drivers connected to, disconnected from a machine and any errors when hardware driver is loaded into the kernel. These messages are helpful in diagnosing or debugging hardware and device driver issues.

WRONG ANSWER!

man POST:

POST vs dmesg

In all documentations I saw dmesg command or /var/log/messages are used for see kernel interaction with hardware components. Maybe rather /proc/cpuinfo
