OpenLinux Compatibility Guide

This appendix is reproduced with permission from the Caldera Web site. For up-to-date information, see http://www.calderasystems.com/products/openlinux/hardware.html. If your hardware is not listed, more than likely it is not supported. Contact your manufacturer for more information or purchase a compatible replacement. It is important to make sure that your model matches the supported designation exactly.

Most SCSI drives with a block size of 512 or 2048 bytes should work. You will need to have a supported SCSI controller card to use one of these drives. Note: Some CD-ROM drives are shipped with nonstandard SCSI adapters that might not be supported.

Most drives connected via IDE/ATAPI interfaces should work. A few of the vendors currently shipping compatible drives include Aztech, Mitsumi, NEC, Sony, Creative Labs, and Vertos. Some multi-CD changers like the NEC CDR-251 and Sanyo’s “nonstandard” 3-CD changer are supported as ATAPI drives and, hence, do not have a special driver on the preceding list. A sample CD change program is included at the end of the following document:

     /usr/src/linux/Documentation/cdrom/ide-cd

The CyCDROM 940i and 520ie drives, although connected to IDE interfaces, are not IDE devices; they use the Aztech driver.

Floppy Drives

The number of floppy drives that are not supported by OpenLinux is so small that it is hardly even worth mentioning. Regardless, in the kernel sources, a few laptop drives are mentioned because of special boot/module parameters that are required to get them working correctly. Also, there are additional boot parameters that can be used to adjust floppy support. OpenLinux Base and OpenLinux Standard customers may contact Caldera for details on these parameters or check the BootPrompt-HOWTO.

IDE Drives

Following is the list of IDE Drives that are supported by the Caldera OpenLinux release 1.3.

IDE Hard Drives, CD-ROM Drives, and Tape Drives

A disk geometry translation with “255 heads” is detected and supported by the genhd module.

These drivers support up to four IDE interfaces on one or more IRQs with up to eight disk/CD=ROM/tape/floppy drives. OpenLinux, by default, ships with support for IDE hard drives on the first two controllers (2 drives per controller = 4 drives total) and includes device files for up to four more devices without partitions. The only devices that can use partitions without creating new device files are the first four hard drives that are connected to the first two IDE controllers only.

Users who have hard drives connected to a sound card IDE interface will need to have new device files made. OpenLinux Base and OpenLinux Standard customers can contact tech support for details on how to make these device files.

IDE Floppy (Removable) Drives

A word of warning: This arena of hardware support is considered to be fairly unstable with current “full release” kernels, including 2.0.35 (which OpenLinux 1.3 systems run by default). Use caution when operating with removable IDE drive support, and consider using other types of hardware if this is going to run on a production or mission critical system.

Mouse Pointing Devices

The generic serial port drivers in the Linux kernel support serial mouse devices. If the port is recognized, the mouse connected to it should be recognized as well. Note that busmouse devices are assumed to be running at IRQ 5, and PS/2 mouse devices are assumed to be running at IRQ 12. Any variations could require some adjustment in the kernel sources to get the mouse devices recognized and working correctly.

IDE-SCSI Devices

With the IDE-SCSI driver, you can use the Linux SCSI drivers instead of the native IDE ATAPI drivers. These drivers support ATAPI devices for which no native driver has been written (for example, an ATAPI PD-CD drive).

SCSI and IDE Tape Drives

There are no specific drivers for SCSI and IDE tape drives; support for them is loaded along with the driver for the interface they are connected to, so no special modules or drivers are required to use them. If the interface is up and running (SCSI or IDE), the drive connected to it should be usable.

Video Cards Supported by XFree86 v3.3.2

Following is the list of video cards that are supported by the XFree86 3.3.2 servers. Most video cards currently on the market are supported by at least one of the server packages provided in the XFree86 distribution.
