Dyne:bolic Hardware Compatability Page
I have tested dyne:bolic 1.1.1 on the following hardware, and here's how it fared...
Note: the PCI cards that worked after modprobe may not have been auto-detected because pcimodules dumps core on my test computer 
Computers
Dell Dimension L500cx
Perfect, except for Armagetron which, on five out of 8 "identical" machines, locks the computer solid, leaving a pink pastel random-pixel flashing random image on the screen, and mplayer crashing out.
Compaq Deskpro 5150 (150 MHz Pentium non-MMX)
No. The system doesn't seem to boot off CDROMs.
Compaq Deskpro 2000/5200MMX
Perfect, except that mplayer crashes out.
Compaq Deskpro 2000/5233MMX
Perfect, except that mplayer crashes out.
Gateway 2000
1.0 & 1.1.1 are said to be OK!
Sony Vaio
1.0 and 1.1.1 are said to be OK!
Dell Latitude CPx H500GT
text mode yes, X no (see ATI Rage Mobility below)
HP pavilion ze5400
Yes, but limited to 800x600 (not fullscreen), can't see pen drive.
Dell Inspiron 8600
(w/ Radeon 9600) Yes, but limited to 800x600 and some windows don't fit on scree due to wide aspect ratio, no audo.
Processors
Intel Pentium MMX 200 & 233 MHz [Compaq Deskpro 2000/5200MMX & 5233MMX]
Yes, but mplayer and pcimodules crash out with illegal instruction.
Intel Pentium MMX 233 MHz [Compaq Deskpro 2000/5233MMX]
Yes, but mplayer and pcimodules crash out with illegal instruction.
Intel Celeron (Mendocino) 500 MHz [Dell Dimension L500cx]
Yes, but mplayer crashes out with illegal instruction.
