I tried, but hwinfo is very SuSE specific.

Dag, I used hwinfo years ago on Mandrake/Mandriva systems. Maybe something helpful there?
I agree with jarmo - it's an excellent tool

I tried MDV packet, but there is some depencies what didn' match even I have required libaries installed, but ofcourse wrong serial. As well as connectivas package, didn't get SuSe's yet, but bet there's maybe other depencies required than tose other distro's.
Original Hwinfo is made for Debian based systems, I think.

Hmm, then I am probably confusing it with some other tool I tried to package coming from SuSE. I do have a SPEC file on my buildsystem, but it does not work. I will investigate when I find the time.

Hwinfo is SUSE specific.
Debian page says :-
Debian -- Details of package hwinfo in sid hwinfo is the hardware detection tool used in SuSE Linux. In Debian Edu ( Skolelinux) hwinfo has shown better results than discover when detecting mouse, ..
The Mandriva spec file lists :- Add debian patch to get it build in non-suse distro

At the risk of repeating myself - it does build/run on CentOS 5.

That is not in dispute. I was responding to the claim that "Hwinfo is made for Debian based systems". Why would debian add a patch to get it to build on none-suse systems if its "made for debian systems"?

Though not as verbose compared to hwinfo's output (on debian here) I've found lshw (http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/lshw/) very useful.
