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.

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.

    AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor 400 MHz and 500 MHz

    Yes, but mplayer and pcimodules crash out with illegal instruction.

    Intel Pentium III (Coppermine)

    Yes!

    AMD XP1900+ Palamino 1600MHz

    Yes, no strangeness to report.

    AMD XP2000+ Thoroughbred *MHz

    Yes, no strangeness to report.

IDE controllers

  • Chip

    Works?

    SiS530

    Yes!

    VIA VT82C586B

    Yes!

    Intel 82371 PIIX4

    Yes!

USB controllers

  • Name

    Type

    Works?

    Intel 82801AA (Rev 02) (in Dell L500cx)

    UHCI

    Yes with usb-uhci but Nokia 5510 crashes the machine

    SiS USB 1.0 Controller

    OHCI

    Don't know - pcimodules gets illegal instruction

On-board video chips

  • Name

    Chip

    Bus

    Works?

    S3 Trio 64V2/GX

    86C785

    PCI

    Yes!

    Dell Dimension L500cx

    i810

    PCI

    All except armagetron on 5 out of 8 machines

Video cards

  • Name

    Chip number

    Bus

    Works?

    ATI Radeon 9600 Pro

    ?

    No. As soon as it gets past "Loading initrd..." we just get a black screen

    ATI Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x

    ?

    AGP

    No. As soon as it switches to graphic mode, the screen goes black and then fades slowly and plasmagorically to white

    S3 Trio 3D/2X "On Board"

    86C368

    AGP

    Yes!

    S3 Trio 64V+ SPIDER BIOS

    PCI

    Yes but: 1) Image is offset 1cm to the left and has 1cm black border at bottom. 2) Splash screen tab edges have white and black guy ropes & moving the splash screen right leaves a white blob on the screen at tab left bottom.

    S3 Trio 64V+ Diamond Multimedia

    PCI

    As above. Armagetron gives black screen but doesn't crash the computer.

    S3 Trio 32
