ISA, VLB, EISA, 及 PCI 匯流排都已被支援。
PS/2 及 微通道 (MCA) 在標準的 kernel 2.0.7 下被支援。 在kernel 2.1.16 (含)以上也支援 MCA ，但這個碼還是有一些小臭虫。詳情你可以查看 Micro Channel Linux 的網頁 ( http://glycerine.itsmm.uni.edu/mca/)
有許多新的 PCI 板子會在開機偵測 PCI 硬體時 "Probing PCI Hardware" 出錯。這個部份會產生下面的 訊息:
Warning : Unknown PCI device (8086:7100). Please read include/linux/pci.h
你告訴你要閱讀 pci.h 檔。下面就是這個檔案的部份內容
PROCEDURE TO REPORT NEW PCI DEVICES
We are trying to collect information on new PCI devices, using
the standard PCI identification procedure. If some warning is
displayed at boot time, please report
- /proc/pci
- your exact hardware description. Try to find out
which device is unknown. It may be you mainboard chipset.
PCI-CPU bridge or PCI-ISA bridge.
- If you can't find the actual information in your hardware
booklet, try to read the references of the chip on the board.
- Send all that to linux-pcisupport@cao-vlsi.ibp.fr,
and I'll add your device to the list as soon as possible
BEFORE you send a mail, please check the latest linux releases
to be sure it has not been recently added.
Thanks
Frederic Potter.
也就是說你的主機版和不知名的 PCI 設備可以正常地工作。
