PC ROS Rigs

This page is to get an overview of PC systems as a whole that worked with ROS. It is not meant to detail how you tested it, what you tested it for, and what specific errors or trials you had to do. For that, you can use the forum or other means.

To have a more formal and structured approach, please fill in the following data in this way:

• 1) Name tester
• 2) name/model/brand of the PC, (laptop or desktop)
• 3) name/model/brand of the CPU, Ghz
• 4) amount/kind of RAM;
• 5) HD brand, GB, kind
• 6) Motherboard
• 7) videocard (integrated or not)
• 8) soundcard (integrated or not)
• 9) ethernetcard (integrated or not)
• 10) which version of ROS you used (build, release...if additional builds are successfully used on the same machine, just add it with ; )
• 11) brief comments (specifically related to how well it worked, or reference to detailed testing)

Real Hardware Testing (rig)

Tester	Computer	CPU	RAM	HD Size	Motherboard	Video Card	Sound Card	Ethernet Card	Working Builds	Comments & Regressions
Webunny	custom 1 (desktop)	Intel P4 1,8 GHz	768 MB SDRAM	Seagate 40GB IDE	Aopen mx4bs	NVIDIA Vanta 16MB	CMedia-8738	realtek RTL8139C	REL 0.3.15; build 61357	works as it should, all later builds do not, unless I remove the soundcard. Works again with build 61357 (see details testing)
oldman	Fujitsu ErgoPro	Pentium-2 233MHz	96Mb ram	3.2Gb IDE	Fujitsu	S3 Virge DX PCI	None	PCI (Realtek 8139c chip)	build 61208	works
oldman	!!	AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+	512Mb ram	ATA 38Gb IDE	!!	on board	on board	on board	build 61208	works. - The nVidia nForce3 drivers do not currently install.

ConductiveDielectric	Toshiba Tecra 8100 (laptop)	Intel Pentium III	128MB SDRAM	20GB IDE	-	S3 Savage/MX(TM) chip w/8MB SGRAM	Integrated	Xircom RealPort(TM) Ethernet 10/100 RE-100	None (2013-12-30)	Boot stops at this screen. This is how the boot process continues in QEMU after that moment. Last tested revision is r61463.
