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 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
82 <para>As of this writing, the following processors are
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 <ulink url="http://processorfinder.intel.com">Intel
125 Processor Spec Finder</ulink> 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>The largest tested memory configuration to date is 64GB.
138 SMP support has been recently completed and is reasonably
141 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
142 &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. There may be
143 some issues with 64-bit cleanliness in some (particularly
144 older) drivers. Generally, drivers that already function
145 correctly on other 64-bit platforms should work.</para>
147 <para>&os;/&arch.amd64; is a very young platform on &os;. While
148 the core &os; kernel and base system components are generally
149 fairly robust, there are likely to still be rough edges,
150 particularly with third party packages.</para>
154 <sect2 id="proc-i386">
157 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
158 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
159 hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
160 to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
161 by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
162 presented here.</para>
164 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
165 point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
166 with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
167 &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
168 variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
169 All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
170 including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
171 &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
172 Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
173 Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
174 Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
175 &i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
177 <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
178 architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and
179 PCI expansion busses are well-supported. There is some
180 limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
181 expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
183 <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
184 supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
185 bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of
186 the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
188 <para>&os; will take advantage of HyperThreading (HTT) support
189 on &intel; CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the
190 <literal>options SMP</literal> feature enabled will
191 automatically detect the additional logical processors. The
192 default &os; scheduler treats the logical processors the same
193 as additional physical processors; in other words, no attempt
194 is made to optimize scheduling decisions given the shared
195 resources between logical processors within the same CPU.
196 Because this naive scheduling can result in suboptimal
197 performance, under certain circumstances it may be useful to
198 disable the logical processors with the
199 <varname>machdep.hyperthreading_allowed</varname> tunable.
200 The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
202 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
203 (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
204 with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
205 memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
206 system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
207 and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
208 &man.pae.4; manpage for more details.</para>
210 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
211 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
212 as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
213 slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
214 between machines, and frequently require special-case support
215 in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When
216 in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be
219 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
220 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
221 &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
222 reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
223 &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
224 instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
225 disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
226 module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
227 to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
229 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
231 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
232 to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
233 &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
234 this via loader tunables.</para>
236 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
237 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
238 bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
239 correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found
241 url="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</ulink>
242 section of the <ulink
243 url="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</ulink> project
244 Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT
245 provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page for
246 more information.</para>

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

292 by AMD, Cyrix, IBM, and IDT are also supported.</para>

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

704 corrections to this list are encouraged.</para>
706 <para>Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or
707 class of devices is listed. If the driver in question has a
