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 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
84 <para>As of this writing, the following processors are
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;
103 processors <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
126 the <ulink url="http://processorfinder.intel.com">Intel
127 Processor Spec Finder</ulink> for the definitive answer about
128 EM64T support in Intel processors.</para>
133 <para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
134 different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which
135 &os;/ia64 supports. Some &intel;'s old documentation refers
136 to &intel; EM64T as <quote>64-bit extension technology</quote>
137 or <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
139 <para>The largest tested memory configuration to date is 64GB.
140 SMP support has been recently completed and is reasonably
143 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
144 &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. There may be
145 some issues with 64-bit cleanliness in some (particularly
146 older) drivers. Generally, drivers that already function
147 correctly on other 64-bit platforms should work.</para>
149 <para>&os;/&arch.amd64; is a very young platform on &os;. While
150 the core &os; kernel and base system components are generally
151 fairly robust, there are likely to still be rough edges,
152 particularly with third party packages.</para>
156 <sect2 id="proc-i386">
159 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
160 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
161 hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
162 to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
163 by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
164 presented here.</para>
166 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
167 point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
168 with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
169 &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
170 variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
171 All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
172 including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
173 &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
174 Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
175 Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
176 Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
177 &i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
179 <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
180 architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and
181 PCI expansion busses are well-supported. There is some
182 limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
183 expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
185 <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
186 supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
187 bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of
188 the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
190 <para>&os; will take advantage of HyperThreading (HTT) support
191 on &intel; CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the
192 <literal>options SMP</literal> feature enabled will
193 automatically detect the additional logical processors. The
194 default &os; scheduler treats the logical processors the same
195 as additional physical processors; in other words, no attempt
196 is made to optimize scheduling decisions given the shared
197 resources between logical processors within the same CPU.
198 Because this naive scheduling can result in suboptimal
199 performance, under certain circumstances it may be useful to
200 disable the logical processors with the
201 <varname>machdep.hlt_logical_cpus</varname> sysctl variable.
202 It is also possible to halt any CPU in the idle loop with the
203 <varname>machdep.hlt_cpus</varname> sysctl variable. The
204 &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
206 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
207 (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
208 with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
209 memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
210 system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
211 and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
212 &man.pae.4; manpage for more details.</para>
214 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
215 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
216 as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
217 slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
218 between machines, and frequently require special-case support
219 in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When
220 in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be
223 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
224 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
225 &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
226 reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
227 &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
228 instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
229 disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
230 module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
231 to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
233 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
235 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
236 to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
237 &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
238 this via loader tunables.</para>
240 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
241 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
242 bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
243 correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found
245 url="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</ulink>
246 section of the <ulink
247 url="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</ulink> project
248 Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT
249 provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page for
250 more information.</para>

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

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

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

651 supported by &os;. Other configurations may also work, but
652 simply have not been tested yet. Feedback, updates, and
653 corrections to this list are encouraged.</para>
655 <para>Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or
656 class of devices is listed. If the driver in question has a
657 manual page in the &os; base distribution (most should), it is
658 referenced here. Information on specific models of supported
659 devices, controllers, etc. can be found in the manual
