42 <para>This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for
43 &os; &release.current;. It lists the hardware platforms
44 supported by &os;, as well as the various types of hardware
45 devices (storage controllers, network interfaces, and so on),
46 along with known working instances of these devices.</para>
50 <title>Supported Processors and System Boards</title>
52 <para>This section provides some architecture-specific information
53 about the specific processors and systems that are supported by
54 each architecture.</para>
56 <sect2 xml:id="proc-amd64">
59 <para>Since mid-2003 &os;/&arch.amd64; has supported the AMD64
60 (<quote>Hammer</quote>) and &intel; EM64T architecture, and is
61 now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported
62 architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality
63 with respects to all aspects of the &os; operating system,
64 including installation and development environments.</para>
66 <para>Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64
67 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology).
68 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible
69 with each other, and &os;/&arch.amd64; should support them
72 <para>As of this writing, the following processors are
77 <para>&amd.athlon;64 (<quote>Clawhammer</quote>).</para>
81 <para>&amd.opteron; (<quote>Sledgehammer</quote>).</para>
85 <para>All multi-core &intel; &xeon; processors except
86 Sossaman have EM64T support.</para>
90 <para>The single-core &intel; &xeon; processors
91 <quote>Nocona</quote>, <quote>Irwindale</quote>,
92 <quote>Potomac</quote>, and <quote>Cranford</quote> have
97 <para>All &intel; Core 2 (not Core Duo) and later
102 <para>All &intel; &pentium; D processors</para>
106 <para>&intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
107 the <quote>Cedar Mill</quote> core have EM64T
112 <para>Some &intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
113 the <quote>Prescott</quote> core have EM64T support. See
115 xlink:href="http://processorfinder.intel.com">Intel
116 Processor Spec Finder</link> for the definitive answer
117 about EM64T support in Intel processors.</para>
122 <para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
123 different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which
124 &os;/ia64 supports. Some &intel;'s old documentation refers
125 to &intel; EM64T as <quote>64-bit extension technology</quote>
126 or <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
128 <para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
129 configurations are supported.</para>
131 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
132 &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. Generally,
133 drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit
134 platforms should work.</para>
138 <sect2 xml:id="proc-i386">
141 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
142 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
143 hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
144 to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
145 by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
146 presented here.</para>
148 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
149 point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
150 with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
151 &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
152 variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
153 All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
154 including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
155 &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
156 Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
157 Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
158 Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
159 &i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
161 <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
162 architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and
163 PCI expansion buses are well-supported. There is some
164 limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
165 expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
167 <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
168 supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
169 bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of
170 the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
172 <para>&os; will take advantage of SMT (Symmetric MultiThreading,
173 also known as HyperThreading on &intel; CPUs) on the supported
174 CPUs. The <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel which is
175 installed by default will automatically detect the additional
176 logical processors. The default &os; scheduler recognizes
177 processor topology on the system and selects logical and
178 physical processors to obtain optimal performance.
179 The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
181 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
182 (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
183 with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
184 memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
185 system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
186 and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
187 &man.pae.4; manual page for more details.</para>
189 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
190 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
191 as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
192 slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
193 between machines, and frequently require special-case support
194 in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When
195 in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be
198 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
199 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
200 &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
201 reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
202 &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
203 instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
204 disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
205 module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
206 to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
208 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
210 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
211 to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
212 &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
213 this via loader tunables.</para>
215 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
216 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
217 bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
218 correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found
220 xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</link>
222 xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</link>
223 project Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the
224 DSDT provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page
225 for more information.</para>

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

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

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

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