4.1 Hardware

  Red Hat Linux is known to function on the following hardware:

• sun4c architecture machines (IPC, SS1, etc)
• sun4m architecture machines (Classic, SS5, SS10, etc)
• bwtwo, cg3, cg6, TCX framebuffers (24 bit on the TCX)
• cg14 framebuffer (in cg3 mode)
• SCSI and Ethernet on all of the above
• type 4 and type 5 keyboards and mice
• external SCSI drives
• CD-ROM drives (external and internal)
• SCSI/Ether SBUS expansion cards
• Any original equipment Sun monitor for the above framebuffers

A partial list of unsupported hardware:  

• VME based sun4m machines, such as the 4/690
• sun4d (SS1000, SS2000)
• sun4u (UltraSparc1, UltraSparc2, EnterPrise UltraSparc servers)
• sun4 architecture
• Eurocard sun4c machines, so called the 'sun4e' under Solaris2.4 and others, are not supported. These are VME-bus sun4c machines and the kernel has not been ported to these systems yet.
