54 <para>This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for
55 &os; &release.current;. It lists the hardware platforms
56 supported by &os;, as well as the various types of hardware
57 devices (storage controllers, network interfaces, and so on),
58 along with known working instances of these devices.</para>
62 <title>Supported Processors and System Boards</title>
64 <para>This section provides some architecture-specific information
65 about the specific processors and systems that are supported by
66 each architecture.</para>
68 <sect2 xml:id="proc-amd64">
71 <para>Since mid-2003 &os;/&arch.amd64; has supported the AMD64
72 (<quote>Hammer</quote>) and &intel; EM64T architecture, and is
73 now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported
74 architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality
75 with respects to all aspects of the &os; operating system,
76 including installation and development environments.</para>
78 <para>Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64
79 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology).
80 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible
81 with each other, and &os;/&arch.amd64; should support them

89 <para>&amd.athlon;64 (<quote>Clawhammer</quote>).</para>
93 <para>&amd.opteron; (<quote>Sledgehammer</quote>).</para>
97 <para>All multi-core &intel; &xeon; processors except
98 Sossaman have EM64T support.</para>
102 <para>The single-core &intel; &xeon; processors
103 <quote>Nocona</quote>, <quote>Irwindale</quote>,
104 <quote>Potomac</quote>, and <quote>Cranford</quote> have
105 EM64T support.</para>
109 <para>All &intel; Core 2 (not Core Duo) and later
114 <para>All &intel; &pentium; D processors</para>
118 <para>&intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
119 the <quote>Cedar Mill</quote> core have EM64T
124 <para>Some &intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
125 the <quote>Prescott</quote> core have EM64T support. See
127 xlink:href="http://processorfinder.intel.com">Intel
128 Processor Spec Finder</link> for the definitive answer
129 about EM64T support in Intel processors.</para>
134 <para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
135 different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which
136 &os;/ia64 supports. Some &intel;'s old documentation refers
137 to &intel; EM64T as <quote>64-bit extension technology</quote>
138 or <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
140 <para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
141 configurations are supported.</para>
143 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
144 &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. Generally,
145 drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit
146 platforms should work.</para>
150 <sect2 xml:id="proc-i386">
153 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
154 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
155 hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
156 to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
157 by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
158 presented here.</para>
160 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
161 point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
162 with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
163 &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
164 variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
165 All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
166 including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
167 &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
168 Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
169 Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
170 Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
171 &i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
173 <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
174 architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and
175 PCI expansion buses are well-supported. There is some
176 limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
177 expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
179 <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
180 supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
181 bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of
182 the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
184 <para>&os; will take advantage of SMT (Symmetric MultiThreading,
185 also known as HyperThreading on &intel; CPUs) on the supported
186 CPUs. The <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel which is
187 installed by default will automatically detect the additional
188 logical processors. The default &os; scheduler recognizes
189 processor topology on the system and selects logical and
190 physical processors to obtain optimal performance.
191 The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
193 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
194 (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
195 with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
196 memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
197 system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
198 and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
199 &man.pae.4; manual page for more details.</para>
201 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
202 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
203 as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
204 slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
205 between machines, and frequently require special-case support
206 in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When
207 in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be
210 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
211 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
212 &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
213 reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
214 &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
215 instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
216 disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
217 module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
218 to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
220 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
222 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
223 to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
224 &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
225 this via loader tunables.</para>
227 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
228 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
229 bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
230 correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found
232 xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</link>
234 xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</link>
235 project Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the
236 DSDT provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page
237 for more information.</para>

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

616 Generally processor-independent, with conditional text
617 inclusion handling any architecture-dependent text.
619 Within each subsection describing a class of hardware
620 (i.e. Ethernet interfaces), list broad groups of devices
621 alphabetically as paragraphs sorted alphabetically (frequently
622 these groups will be arranged by manufacturer, i.e. 3Com
623 Ethernet interfaces).
625 Where applicable, a "Miscellaneous" section may follow all
626 other named sections.
628 These guidelines are not hard-and-fast rules, and exceptions
629 will occur. Following these guidelines (vague as they may be)
630 is highly recommended to try to keep the formatting of
631 this section consistent.
633 We give manpage references using the &man entities where
634 possible. If a driver has no manpage (and consequently no
635 &man entity, we simply give the name of the driver).
636 Please avoid doing &man entity conversions unless you
637 know for sure that an entity and manpage exist; sweeps through
638 this file to fix "missed" conversions are likely to break the
