60 <para>This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for
61 &os; &release.current;. It lists the hardware platforms
62 supported by &os;, as well as the various types of hardware
63 devices (storage controllers, network interfaces, and so on),
64 along with known working instances of these devices.</para>
68 <title>Supported Processors and System Boards</title>
70 <para>This section provides some architecture-specific information
71 about the specific processors and systems that are supported by
72 each architecture.</para>

77 <para>Since mid-2003 &os;/&arch.amd64; has supported the AMD64
78 (<quote>Hammer</quote>) and &intel; EM64T architecture, and is
79 now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported
80 architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality
81 with respects to all aspects of the &os; operating system,
82 including installation and development environments.</para>
84 <para>Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64
85 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology).
86 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible

121 <quote>Nocona</quote>, <quote>Irwindale</quote>,
122 <quote>Potomac</quote>, and <quote>Cranford</quote> have

145 <para>&intel; &pentium; 4s and &celeron; Ds using
146 the <quote>Cedar Mill</quote> core have EM64T
151 <para>Some &intel; &pentium; 4s and &celeron; Ds using the
152 <quote>Prescott</quote> core have EM64T support. See the
153 <link xlink:href="http://processorfinder.intel.com">Intel
154 Processor Spec Finder</link> for the definitive answer
155 about EM64T support in Intel processors.</para>
160 <para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
161 different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture. Some of
162 &intel;'s old documentation refers to &intel; EM64T as
163 <quote>64-bit extension technology</quote> or
164 <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
166 <para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
167 configurations are supported.</para>
169 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
170 &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. Generally,
171 drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit
172 platforms should work.</para>
176 <sect2 xml:id="proc-i386">
179 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
180 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
181 hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
182 to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
183 by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
184 presented here.</para>
186 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
187 point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
188 with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
189 &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
190 variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
191 All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
192 including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
193 &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
194 Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
195 Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
196 Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
197 &i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
199 <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
200 architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and
201 PCI expansion buses are well-supported. There is some
202 limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
203 expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
205 <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
206 supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
207 bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of
208 the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
210 <para>&os; will take advantage of SMT (Symmetric MultiThreading,
211 also known as HyperThreading on &intel; CPUs) on the supported
212 CPUs. The <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel which is
213 installed by default will automatically detect the additional
214 logical processors. The default &os; scheduler recognizes
215 processor topology on the system and selects logical and
216 physical processors to obtain optimal performance.
217 The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
219 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
220 (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
221 with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
222 memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
223 system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
224 and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
225 &man.pae.4; manual page for more details.</para>
227 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
228 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
229 as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
230 slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
231 between machines, and frequently require special-case support
232 in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When
233 in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be
236 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
237 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
238 &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
239 reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
240 &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
241 instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
242 disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
243 module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
244 to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
246 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
248 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
249 to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
250 &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
251 this via loader tunables.</para>
253 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
254 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
255 bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
256 correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found

260 xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</link>
261 project Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the
262 DSDT provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page
263 for more information.</para>

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

605 The "Supported Devices" section of the release notes.
606 Generally processor-independent, with conditional text
607 inclusion handling any architecture-dependent text.
609 Within each subsection describing a class of hardware
610 (i.e. Ethernet interfaces), list broad groups of devices
611 alphabetically as paragraphs sorted alphabetically (frequently
612 these groups will be arranged by manufacturer, i.e. 3Com
613 Ethernet interfaces).
615 Where applicable, a "Miscellaneous" section may follow all
616 other named sections.
618 These guidelines are not hard-and-fast rules, and exceptions
619 will occur. Following these guidelines (vague as they may be)
620 is highly recommended to try to keep the formatting of
621 this section consistent.
623 We give manual page references using the &man entities where
624 possible. If a driver has no manual page (and consequently no
625 &man entity, we simply give the name of the driver).
626 Please avoid doing &man entity conversions unless you
627 know for sure that an entity and manual page exist; sweeps through
