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

77 <para>&amd.opteron; (<quote>Sledgehammer</quote>).</para>
81 <para>All multi-core &intel; &xeon; processors except
82 Sossaman have EM64T support.</para>
86 <para>The single-core &intel; &xeon;
87 processors <quote>Nocona</quote>, <quote>Irwindale</quote>,
88 <quote>Potomac</quote>, and <quote>Cranford</quote> have
93 <para>All &intel; Core 2 (not Core Duo) and later
98 <para>All &intel; &pentium; D processors</para>
102 <para>&intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
103 the <quote>Cedar Mill</quote> core have EM64T
108 <para>Some &intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
109 the <quote>Prescott</quote> core have EM64T support. See
110 the <link xlink:href="http://processorfinder.intel.com">Intel
111 Processor Spec Finder</link> for the definitive answer about
112 EM64T support in Intel processors.</para>
117 <para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
118 different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which
119 &os;/ia64 supports. Some &intel;'s old documentation refers
120 to &intel; EM64T as <quote>64-bit extension technology</quote>
121 or <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
123 <para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
124 configurations are supported.</para>
126 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
127 &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. Generally,
128 drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit
129 platforms should work.</para>
133 <sect2 xml:id="proc-i386">
136 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
137 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
138 hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
139 to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
140 by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
141 presented here.</para>
143 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
144 point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
145 with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
146 &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
147 variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
148 All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
149 including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
150 &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
151 Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
152 Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
153 Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
154 &i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
156 <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
157 architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and
158 PCI expansion buses are well-supported. There is some
159 limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
160 expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
162 <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
163 supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
164 bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of
165 the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
167 <para>&os; will take advantage of SMT (Symmetric MultiThreading,
168 also known as HyperThreading on &intel; CPUs) on the supported
169 CPUs. The <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel which is
170 installed by default will automatically detect the additional
171 logical processors. The default &os; scheduler recognizes
172 processor topology on the system and selects logical and
173 physical processors to obtain optimal performance.
174 The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
176 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
177 (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
178 with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
179 memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
180 system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
181 and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
182 &man.pae.4; manual page for more details.</para>
184 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
185 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
186 as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
187 slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
188 between machines, and frequently require special-case support
189 in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When
190 in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be
193 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
194 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
195 &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
196 reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
197 &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
198 instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
199 disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
200 module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
201 to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
203 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
205 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
206 to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
207 &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
208 this via loader tunables.</para>
210 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
211 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
212 bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
213 correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found
214 at the <link xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</link>
215 section of the <link xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</link> project
216 Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT
217 provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page for
218 more information.</para>

240 <para>&intel; E8870</para>
244 <para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
245 configurations are supported.</para>
247 <para>Most devices that can be found in or are compatible with
248 &arch.ia64; machines are fully supported. The notable
249 exception is the VGA console. The &os; support for VGA
250 consoles is at this time too much based on PC hardware and not
251 all &arch.ia64; machines have chipsets that provide sufficient
252 PC legacy support. As such &man.syscons.4; can not be enabled
253 and the use of a serial console is required.</para>

273 normal (PC-9801 compatible) mode only.</para>

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