52 <para>This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for
53 &os; &release.current;. It lists the hardware platforms
54 supported by &os;, as well as the various types of hardware
55 devices (storage controllers, network interfaces, and so on),
56 along with known working instances of these devices.</para>
60 <title>Supported Processors and System Boards</title>
62 <para>This section provides some architecture-specific information
63 about the specific processors and systems that are supported by
64 each architecture.</para>
66 <sect2 xml:id="proc-amd64">
69 <para>Since mid-2003 &os;/&arch.amd64; has supported the AMD64
70 (<quote>Hammer</quote>) and &intel; EM64T architecture, and is
71 now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported
72 architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality
73 with respects to all aspects of the &os; operating system,
74 including installation and development environments.</para>
76 <para>Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64
77 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology).
78 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible
79 with each other, and &os;/&arch.amd64; should support them

87 <para>&amd.athlon;64 (<quote>Clawhammer</quote>).</para>
91 <para>&amd.opteron; (<quote>Sledgehammer</quote>).</para>
95 <para>All multi-core &intel; &xeon; processors except
96 Sossaman have EM64T support.</para>
100 <para>The single-core &intel; &xeon;
101 processors <quote>Nocona</quote>, <quote>Irwindale</quote>,
102 <quote>Potomac</quote>, and <quote>Cranford</quote> have
103 EM64T support.</para>
107 <para>All &intel; Core 2 (not Core Duo) and later
112 <para>All &intel; &pentium; D processors</para>
116 <para>&intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
117 the <quote>Cedar Mill</quote> core have EM64T
122 <para>Some &intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
123 the <quote>Prescott</quote> core have EM64T support. See
124 the <link xlink:href="http://processorfinder.intel.com">Intel
125 Processor Spec Finder</link> for the definitive answer about
126 EM64T support in Intel processors.</para>
131 <para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
132 different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which
133 &os;/ia64 supports. Some &intel;'s old documentation refers
134 to &intel; EM64T as <quote>64-bit extension technology</quote>
135 or <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
137 <para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
138 configurations are supported.</para>
140 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
141 &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. Generally,
142 drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit
143 platforms should work.</para>
147 <sect2 xml:id="proc-i386">
150 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
151 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
152 hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
153 to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
154 by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
155 presented here.</para>
157 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
158 point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
159 with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
160 &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
161 variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
162 All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
163 including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
164 &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
165 Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
166 Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
167 Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
168 &i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
170 <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
171 architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and
172 PCI expansion buses are well-supported. There is some
173 limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
174 expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
176 <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
177 supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
178 bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of
179 the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
181 <para>&os; will take advantage of HyperThreading (HTT) support
182 on &intel; CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the
183 <literal>options SMP</literal> feature enabled will
184 automatically detect the additional logical processors. The
185 default &os; scheduler treats the logical processors the same
186 as additional physical processors; in other words, no attempt
187 is made to optimize scheduling decisions given the shared
188 resources between logical processors within the same CPU.
189 Because this naive scheduling can result in suboptimal
190 performance, under certain circumstances it may be useful to
191 disable the logical processors with the
192 <varname>machdep.hyperthreading_allowed</varname> tunable.
193 The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
195 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
196 (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
197 with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
198 memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
199 system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
200 and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
201 &man.pae.4; manual page for more details.</para>
203 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
204 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
205 as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
206 slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
207 between machines, and frequently require special-case support
208 in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When
209 in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be
212 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
213 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
214 &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
215 reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
216 &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
217 instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
218 disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
219 module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
220 to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
222 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
224 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
225 to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
226 &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
227 this via loader tunables.</para>
229 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
230 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
231 bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
232 correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found
233 at the <link xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</link>
234 section of the <link xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</link> project
235 Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT
236 provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page for
237 more information.</para>

259 <para>&intel; E8870</para>
263 <para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
264 configurations are supported.</para>
266 <para>Most devices that can be found in or are compatible with
267 &arch.ia64; machines are fully supported. The notable
268 exception is the VGA console. The &os; support for VGA
269 consoles is at this time too much based on PC hardware and not
270 all &arch.ia64; machines have chipsets that provide sufficient
271 PC legacy support. As such &man.syscons.4; can not be enabled
272 and the use of a serial console is required.</para>

661 The "Supported Devices" section of the release notes.
662 Generally processor-independent, with conditional text
663 inclusion handling any architecture-dependent text.
665 Within each subsection describing a class of hardware
666 (i.e. Ethernet interfaces), list broad groups of devices
667 alphabetically as paragraphs sorted alphabetically (frequently
668 these groups will be arranged by manufacturer, i.e. 3Com
669 Ethernet interfaces).
671 Where applicable, a "Miscellaneous" section may follow all
672 other named sections.
674 These guidelines are not hard-and-fast rules, and exceptions
675 will occur. Following these guidelines (vague as they may be)
676 is highly recommended to try to keep the formatting of
677 this section consistent.
679 We give manpage references using the &man entities where
680 possible. If a driver has no manpage (and consequently no
681 &man entity, we simply give the name of the driver).
682 Please avoid doing &man entity conversions unless you
683 know for sure that an entity and manpage exist; sweeps through
684 this file to fix "missed" conversions are likely to break the
