40 <para>This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for
41 &os; &release.current;. It lists the hardware platforms
42 supported by &os;, as well as the various types of hardware
43 devices (storage controllers, network interfaces, and so on),
44 along with known working instances of these devices.</para>
48 <title>Supported Processors and System Boards</title>
50 <para>This section provides some architecture-specific information
51 about the specific processors and systems that are supported by
52 each architecture.</para>
54 <sect2 xml:id="proc-amd64">
57 <para>Since mid-2003 &os;/&arch.amd64; has supported the AMD64
58 (<quote>Hammer</quote>) and &intel; EM64T architecture, and is
59 now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported
60 architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality
61 with respects to all aspects of the &os; operating system,
62 including installation and development environments.</para>
64 <para>Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64
65 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology).
66 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible
67 with each other, and &os;/&arch.amd64; should support them

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

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

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

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