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 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!
