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

80 <para>Since mid-2003 &os;/&arch.amd64; has supported the AMD64
81 (<quote>Hammer</quote>) and &intel; EM64T architecture, and is
82 now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported
83 architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality
84 with respects to all aspects of the &os; operating system,
85 including installation and development environments.</para>
87 <para>Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64
88 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology).
89 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible

124 <quote>Nocona</quote>, <quote>Irwindale</quote>,
125 <quote>Potomac</quote>, and <quote>Cranford</quote> have

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

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

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

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