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 xml: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; supports them

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

259 processors, including 80486, &pentium;, &pentium; Pro,
260 &pentium; II, and variants. All &i386;-compatible processors
261 by AMD, Cyrix, IBM, and IDT are also supported.</para>

271 PC-98XA/XL/RL/XL^2, and NEC PC-H98 series are supported in
272 normal (PC-9801 compatible) mode only.</para>
274 <para>Although there are some multi-processor systems (such as
275 Rs20/B20), SMP-related features of &os; are not supported
278 <para>PC-9801/9821 standard bus (called C-Bus), PC-9801NOTE

587 The "Supported Devices" section of the release notes.
588 Generally processor-independent, with conditional text
589 inclusion handling any architecture-dependent text.
591 Within each subsection describing a class of hardware
592 (i.e. Ethernet interfaces), list broad groups of devices
593 alphabetically as paragraphs sorted alphabetically (frequently
594 these groups will be arranged by manufacturer, i.e. 3Com
595 Ethernet interfaces).
597 Where applicable, a "Miscellaneous" section may follow all
598 other named sections.
600 These guidelines are not hard-and-fast rules, and exceptions
601 will occur. Following these guidelines (vague as they may be)
602 is highly recommended to try to keep the formatting of
603 this section consistent.
605 We give manpage references using the &man entities where
606 possible. If a driver has no manpage (and consequently no
607 &man entity, we simply give the name of the driver).
608 Please avoid doing &man entity conversions unless you
609 know for sure that an entity and manpage exist; sweeps through
610 this file to fix "missed" conversions are likely to break the

619 simply have not been tested yet. Feedback, updates, and
620 corrections to this list are encouraged.</para>
622 <para>Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or
