53 <para>This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for
54 &os; &release.current;. It lists the hardware platforms
55 supported by &os;, as well as the various types of hardware
56 devices (storage controllers, network interfaces, and so on),
57 along with known working instances of these devices.</para>
61 <title>Supported Processors and System Boards</title>
63 <para>This section provides some architecture-specific information
64 about the specific processors and systems that are supported by
65 each architecture.</para>
67 <sect2 xml:id="proc-amd64">
70 <para>Since mid-2003 &os;/&arch.amd64; has supported the AMD64
71 (<quote>Hammer</quote>) and &intel; EM64T architecture, and is
72 now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported
73 architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality
74 with respects to all aspects of the &os; operating system,
75 including installation and development environments.</para>
77 <para>Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64
78 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology).
79 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible
80 with each other, and &os;/&arch.amd64; should support them

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

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

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