ISA, VLB, EISA, 及 PCI 汇流排都已被支援。
PS/2 及 微通道 (MCA) 在标准的 kernel 2.0.7 下被支援。 在kernel 2.1.16 (含)以上也支援 MCA ,但这个码还是有一些小臭虫。详情你可以查看 Micro Channel Linux 的网页 ( http://glycerine.itsmm.uni.edu/mca/)
有许多新的 PCI 板子会在开机侦测 PCI 硬体时 "Probing PCI Hardware" 出错。这个部份会产生下面的 讯息:
Warning : Unknown PCI device (8086:7100). Please read include/linux/pci.h
你告诉你要阅读 pci.h 档。下面就是这个档案的部份内容
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.
也就是说你的主机版和不知名的 PCI 设备可以正常地工作。
