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>

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>

114 <quote>Nocona</quote>, <quote>Irwindale</quote>,
115 <quote>Potomac</quote>, and <quote>Cranford</quote> have

137 <para>&intel; &pentium; 4s and &celeron; Ds using
138 the <quote>Cedar Mill</quote> core have EM64T
143 <para>Some &intel; &pentium; 4s and &celeron; Ds using
144 the <quote>Prescott</quote> core have EM64T support. See
146 xlink:href="http://processorfinder.intel.com">Intel
147 Processor Spec Finder</link> for the definitive answer
148 about EM64T support in Intel processors.</para>
153 <para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
154 different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which
155 &os;/ia64 supports. Some &intel;'s old documentation refers
156 to &intel; EM64T as <quote>64-bit extension technology</quote>
157 or <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
159 <para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
160 configurations are supported.</para>
162 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
163 &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. Generally,
164 drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit
165 platforms should work.</para>
169 <sect2 xml:id="proc-i386">
172 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
173 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
174 hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
175 to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
176 by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
177 presented here.</para>
179 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
180 point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
181 with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
182 &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
183 variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
184 All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
185 including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
186 &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
187 Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
188 Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
189 Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
190 &i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
192 <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
193 architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and
194 PCI expansion buses are well-supported. There is some
195 limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
196 expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
198 <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
199 supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
200 bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of
201 the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
203 <para>&os; will take advantage of SMT (Symmetric MultiThreading,
204 also known as HyperThreading on &intel; CPUs) on the supported
205 CPUs. The <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel which is
206 installed by default will automatically detect the additional
207 logical processors. The default &os; scheduler recognizes
208 processor topology on the system and selects logical and
209 physical processors to obtain optimal performance.
210 The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
212 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
213 (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
214 with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
215 memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
216 system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
217 and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
218 &man.pae.4; manual page for more details.</para>
220 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
221 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
222 as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
223 slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
224 between machines, and frequently require special-case support
225 in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When
226 in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be
229 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
230 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
231 &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
232 reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
233 &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
234 instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
235 disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
236 module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
237 to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
239 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
241 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
242 to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
243 &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
244 this via loader tunables.</para>
246 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
247 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
248 bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
249 correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found

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

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

635 Generally processor-independent, with conditional text
636 inclusion handling any architecture-dependent text.
638 Within each subsection describing a class of hardware
639 (i.e. Ethernet interfaces), list broad groups of devices
640 alphabetically as paragraphs sorted alphabetically (frequently
641 these groups will be arranged by manufacturer, i.e. 3Com
642 Ethernet interfaces).
644 Where applicable, a "Miscellaneous" section may follow all
645 other named sections.
647 These guidelines are not hard-and-fast rules, and exceptions
648 will occur. Following these guidelines (vague as they may be)
649 is highly recommended to try to keep the formatting of
650 this section consistent.
652 We give manpage references using the &man entities where
653 possible. If a driver has no manpage (and consequently no
654 &man entity, we simply give the name of the driver).
655 Please avoid doing &man entity conversions unless you
656 know for sure that an entity and manpage exist; sweeps through
657 this file to fix "missed" conversions are likely to break the
