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

86 <para>&amd.athlon;64 (<quote>Clawhammer</quote>).</para>
90 <para>&amd.opteron; (<quote>Sledgehammer</quote>).</para>
94 <para>All multi-core &intel; &xeon; processors except
95 Sossaman have EM64T support.</para>
99 <para>The single-core &intel; &xeon;
100 processors <quote>Nocona</quote>, <quote>Irwindale</quote>,
101 <quote>Potomac</quote>, and <quote>Cranford</quote> have
102 EM64T support.</para>
106 <para>All &intel; Core 2 (not Core Duo) and later
111 <para>All &intel; &pentium; D processors</para>
115 <para>&intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
116 the <quote>Cedar Mill</quote> core have EM64T
121 <para>Some &intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
122 the <quote>Prescott</quote> core have EM64T support. See
123 the <link xlink:href="http://processorfinder.intel.com">Intel
124 Processor Spec Finder</link> for the definitive answer about
125 EM64T support in Intel processors.</para>
130 <para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
131 different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which
132 &os;/ia64 supports. Some &intel;'s old documentation refers
133 to &intel; EM64T as <quote>64-bit extension technology</quote>
134 or <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
136 <para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
137 configurations are supported.</para>
139 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
140 &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. Generally,
141 drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit
142 platforms should work.</para>
146 <sect2 xml:id="proc-i386">
149 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
150 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
151 hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
152 to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
153 by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
154 presented here.</para>
156 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
157 point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
158 with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
159 &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
160 variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
161 All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
162 including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
163 &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
164 Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
165 Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
166 Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
167 &i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
169 <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
170 architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and
171 PCI expansion buses are well-supported. There is some
172 limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
173 expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
175 <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
176 supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
177 bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of
178 the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
180 <para>&os; will take advantage of HyperThreading (HTT) support
181 on &intel; CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the
182 <literal>options SMP</literal> feature enabled will
183 automatically detect the additional logical processors. The
184 default &os; scheduler treats the logical processors the same
185 as additional physical processors; in other words, no attempt
186 is made to optimize scheduling decisions given the shared
187 resources between logical processors within the same CPU.
188 Because this naive scheduling can result in suboptimal
189 performance, under certain circumstances it may be useful to
190 disable the logical processors with the
191 <varname>machdep.hyperthreading_allowed</varname> tunable.
192 The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
194 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
195 (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
196 with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
197 memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
198 system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
199 and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
200 &man.pae.4; manual page for more details.</para>
202 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
203 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
204 as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
205 slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
206 between machines, and frequently require special-case support
207 in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When
208 in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be
211 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
212 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
213 &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
214 reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
215 &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
216 instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
217 disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
218 module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
219 to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
221 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
223 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
224 to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
225 &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
226 this via loader tunables.</para>
228 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
229 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
230 bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
231 correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found
232 at the <link xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</link>
233 section of the <link xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</link> project
234 Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT
235 provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page for
236 more information.</para>
239 <sect2 xml:id="proc-ia64">
242 <para>Currently supported processors are the <link xlink:href="http://people.freebsd.org/~marcel/refs/ia64/itanium/24532003.pdf">&itanium;</link>

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

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

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