A short description of the kernels/bootdisks: All kernels are modularized. This means that almost all drivers are loaded as kernel modules. As there are some drivers which cause trouble when used as module, there are additional kernels which contain the corresponding driver compiled in. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- eide01: Standard kernel. Should run on any hardware. If you are unsure, please try this disk first! eide02: Like eide01, but support for special EIDE chipsets. eide03: Kernel without support for accessing the PCI-BIOS. Use only if you have problems with other kernels! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following kernels contain the mentioned SCSI driver compiled in: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- scsi01: aic7xxx (Adaptec 274x/284x/294x) scsi02: BusLogic (all models) scsi03: NCR 53C(78)xx scsi04: NCR 53C8XX (BSD-driver) scsi05: Adaptec 1542 scsi06: Adaptec 1740 scsi07: Adaptec 1505/151x/152x/2825 scsi08: EATA (E)ISA (PM2011/021/012 etc) scsi09: EATA EATA-DMA (DPT, NEC, AT&T, SNI etc.) scsi10: AM53C974 scsi11: Future Domain 16xx scsi12: AdvanSys scsi13: DTC 3180/3280 scsi14: EATA-PIO (old DPT PM2001, PM2012A) scsi15: Always IN 2000 scsi16: Pro Audio Spectrum SCSI scsi17: IOMEGA Parallel Port ZIP drive scsi18: Qlogic FAS scsi19: Qlogic ISP scsi20: Seagate ST-02/Fut. Domain TMC-8xx scsi21: Trantor T128/T128F/T228 scsi22: UltraStor 14F/34F scsi23: UltraStor (alternative driver) scsi24: Western Digital 7000 FASST scsi25: GDT SCSI Disk Array (ICP Vortex) scsi26: NCR53c406a scsi27: Generic NCR5380/53c400 scsi28: Tekram DC-390(T) scsi29: aic7xxx - old driver (4.1.1) scsi30: aic7xxx - newest beta driver (5.1.0-pre5) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Images: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- rescue: Rescue disk modules: Meanwhile not all modules fit on the bootdisk. Therefore this modules floppy exists. If you do not find the driver for your hardware on the normal disk, just insert the modules disk as soon as linuxrc starts. thinkpad: Special bootdisk for IBM thinkpads.
