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

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

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

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

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