1. What is this? And what isn't it?This is a user driven Hardware Compatibility List for CentOS 3, CentOS 4and CentOS 5. That means that we need your help with these pages.I'd like to see this page as an entry point for hardware that does not workwith CentOS out of the box or only with some eort. I do not see a need fora list which states all working hardware.So if you have some piece of hardware you'd like to use under CentOS, butaren't able to, or if you have got some piece of hardware to work, whichisn't supported by CentOS directly, but needs a driver disk for example,this would be the place to exchange your adventures with other people.

2. Where to turn rst?These drivers are compiled into the kernel either directly or as a module:

List of drivers compiled into the CentOS 3 kernel. This is a copy ofthe kernel conguration.List of drivers compiled into the CentOS 4 kernel. This is a copy ofthe kernel conguration.List of drivers compiled into the CentOS 5 kernel. This is a copy ofthe kernel conguration.

There are some places on the web where you should look rst to see if yourhardware is supported or not. First is the Hardware listing of theupstream provider, where you also can nd complete systems that arecertied for running under RHEL - meaning that those should also workunder CentOS.Second: CentOS keeps a set of Release Notes at the bottom of Theocial documentation page. Those are for 4.x only, there doesn't seem tobe a place with a collection of the 3.x release notes. CentOS 5 ReleaseNotes can be found at the Release Notes section of the wiki.The current 3.x release notes can be found on http://mirror.centos.org/3/os/ and then in the directory for your hardware architecture. Olderrelease notes might be found on http://vault.centos.org/3.x/os/ and again

in the corresponding directory for your hardware.Another point of information are the searchable CentOS list archives.Note the little google search box in the upper left corner of that page.Further on there is the Hardware Forum for CentOS 5, the HardwareForum for CentOS 4 and the Hardware Forum for CentOS 3 on theCentOS Homepage.#centos on irc.freenode.net is another valuable source of informationabout hardware issues. Please read the CentOS IRC Guidelines rst.So you see that there really is no need to look here for Hardware support.Except for Hardware you're having trouble to get working ...

3. CentOS on LaptopsWe have created a separate page to list information about CentOS ondierent Laptop models. If you own a laptop, why not try CentOS on it andreport your experience ?

If you have an in-depth explanation of the problem, please put it here== Output of `lspci -v` ==Paste the relevant part of the output of 'lspci -v' here. Not all of it, just the stuff regarding this hardware.== Solution ==Do you have a solution for the problem? Is there a third party driver available?== Workaround ==Is there a workaround for that hardware, like using CentOS 3 instead of CentOS 4?== Notes ==This place intentionally left blank. But you might have something to fill this space with. Please don't get offensive here, or only if you absolutely have to.

8. Where to turn second?Using our friend, Google, and running a search like this may help as well:
