I have always found lwn (www.lwn.net) to have very good coverage of the changes between kernel versions. I'm not aware of any comprehensive list of supported hardware. Various attempts at this have been attempted over the years, with varying degrees of success. The most reliable is to plow through the menuconfig/xconfig options. > from my > experience building 2.6.16 kernel series i know ati-drivers doesnt work. is > it somewere documented? Out-of-tree drivers can be expected to break when updating kernels. It doesn't happen every kernel release, but it will happen. If it is open source, there should be an update to the driver pretty quickly. If it is a proprietary driver, you usually have to wait for the vendor to make an update. If you want to run bleeding-edge kernels, you might want to accept ~x86 for any out-of-tree drivers. > for example i have peace of scanner that isnt > supported by sane and i see that in sane homepage.
