51 <para>This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for
52 &os; &release.current;.
53 It lists the hardware platforms supported by &os;, as well as the
54 various types of hardware devices (storage controllers, network
55 interfaces, and so on), along with known working instances of these
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>
67 <sect2 id="proc-amd64">
70 <para>Since mid-2003 &os;/&arch.amd64; has supported the AMD64
71 (<quote>Hammer</quote>) and &intel; EM64T architecture,
72 and is now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully
73 supported architecture), which are expected to be Production
74 Quality with respects to all aspects of the &os; operating system,
75 including installation and development environments.</para>
77 <para>Note that there are two names for this architecture,
78 AMD64 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology).
79 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible
80 with each other, and &os;/&arch.amd64; should support them both.</para>
82 <para>As of this writing, the following processors are
87 <para>&amd.athlon;64 (<quote>Clawhammer</quote>).</para>
91 <para>&amd.opteron; (<quote>Sledgehammer</quote>).</para>
95 <para>All multi-core &intel; &xeon; processors except
96 Sossaman have EM64T support.</para>
100 <para>The single-core &intel; &xeon;
101 processors <quote>Nocona</quote>, <quote>Irwindale</quote>,
102 <quote>Potomac</quote>, and <quote>Cranford</quote> have
103 EM64T support.</para>
107 <para>All &intel; Core 2 (not Core Duo) and later
112 <para>All &intel; &pentium; D processors</para>
116 <para>&intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
117 the <quote>Cedar Mill</quote> core have EM64T
122 <para>Some &intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
123 the <quote>Prescott</quote> core have EM64T support. See
124 the <ulink url="http://processorfinder.intel.com">Intel
125 Processor Spec Finder</ulink> for the definitive answer about
126 EM64T support in Intel processors.</para>
131 <para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
132 different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which &os;/ia64
133 supports. Some &intel;'s old documentation refers to &intel; EM64T as
134 <quote>64-bit extension technology</quote> or <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
136 <para>The largest tested
137 memory configuration to date is 32GB. SMP support has been
138 recently completed and is reasonably robust.</para>
140 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to &os;/&arch.i386;, in
141 terms of drivers supported. There may be some issues with 64-bit
142 cleanliness in some (particularly older) drivers. Generally,
143 drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit platforms
146 <para>&os;/&arch.amd64; is a very young platform on &os;. While the
147 core &os; kernel and base system components are generally
148 fairly robust, there are likely to still be rough edges,
149 particularly with third party packages.</para>
153 <sect2 id="proc-i386">
156 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
157 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of hardware
158 available for this architecture, it is impossible to exhaustively
159 list all combinations of equipment supported by &os;.
160 Nevertheless, some general guidelines are presented here.</para>
162 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating point unit
164 &intel; processors beginning with the 80486 are supported, including
165 the 80486, &pentium;, &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III,
166 &pentium; 4, and variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron;
167 processors. All &i386;-compatible AMD
168 processors are also supported, including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6;
169 (and variants), &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4,
170 and Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
171 Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The Transmeta
172 Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are &i386;-compatible
173 processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
175 <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
176 architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and PCI
177 expansion busses are well-supported. There is some limited
178 support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>) expansion bus
179 used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
181 <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
182 supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
183 bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of the
184 &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
186 <para>&os; will take advantage of HyperThreading (HTT) support on
187 &intel; CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the
188 <literal>options SMP</literal> feature enabled will
189 automatically detect the additional logical processors. The
190 default &os; scheduler treats the logical processors the same as
191 additional physical processors; in other words, no attempt is made
192 to optimize scheduling decisions given the shared resources
193 between logical processors within the same CPU. Because this
194 naive scheduling can result in suboptimal performance, under
195 certain circumstances it may be useful to disable the logical
197 the <varname>machdep.hlt_logical_cpus</varname> sysctl variable.
198 It is also possible to halt any CPU in the idle loop with the
199 <varname>machdep.hlt_cpus</varname> sysctl variable. The
200 &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
202 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions (PAE)
203 support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the
204 <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect memory above
205 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the system. This feature
206 places constraints on the device drivers and other features of
207 &os; which may be used; consult the &man.pae.4; manpage for more
210 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
211 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such as
212 sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion slots.
213 These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways between
214 machines, and frequently require special-case support in &os; to
215 work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When in doubt, a
216 search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be useful.</para>
218 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
219 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard. &os;
220 supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture reference
221 implementation from &intel;, as described in the &man.acpi.4; manual
222 page. The use of ACPI causes instabilities on some machines and it
223 may be necessary to disable the ACPI driver, which is normally
224 loaded via a kernel module. This may be accomplished by adding
225 the following line to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
227 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
229 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful to
230 disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The &man.acpi.4;
231 manual page has more information on how to do this via loader
234 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
235 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have bad or
236 incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning correctly.
237 Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found at the <ulink
238 url="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</ulink>
239 section of the <ulink
240 url="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</ulink> project Web
241 site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT provided by
242 the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page for more
246 <sect2 id="proc-ia64">
249 <para>Currently supported processors are the
250 <ulink url="http://people.freebsd.org/~marcel/refs/ia64/itanium/24532003.pdf">
251 &itanium;</ulink> and the
252 <ulink url="http://people.freebsd.org/~marcel/refs/ia64/itanium2/25111003.pdf">
253 &itanium; 2</ulink>.</para>
255 <para>Supported chipsets include:</para>
261 <para>&intel; 460GX</para>
264 <para>&intel; E8870</para>
268 <para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
269 configurations are supported.</para>
271 <para>Most devices that can be found in or are compatible with
272 &arch.ia64; machines are fully supported. The notable exception
273 is the VGA console. The &os; support for VGA consoles is at
274 this time too much based on PC hardware and not all &arch.ia64;
275 machines have chipsets that provide sufficient PC legacy
276 support. As such &man.syscons.4; can not be enabled and the
277 use of a serial console is required.</para>

285 including 80486, &pentium;, &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, and variants.
286 All &i386;-compatible processors by AMD, Cyrix, IBM, and IDT
287 are also supported.</para>
289 <para>NEC FC-9801/9821 series, and NEC SV-98 series
290 (both of them are compatible with PC-9801/9821 series)
291 should be supported.</para>
293 <para>EPSON PC-386/486/586 series, which are
294 compatible with NEC PC-9801 series are supported.</para>

297 NEC PC-98XA/XL/RL/XL^2, and NEC PC-H98 series
298 are supported in normal (PC-9801 compatible) mode only.</para>

448 The "Supported Devices" section of the release notes.
449 Generally processor-independent, with conditional text
450 inclusion handling any architecture-dependent text.
452 Within each subsection describing a class of hardware
453 (i.e. Ethernet interfaces), list broad groups of devices
454 alphabetically as paragraphs sorted alphabetically (frequently
455 these groups will be arranged by manufacturer, i.e. 3Com
456 Ethernet interfaces).
458 Where applicable, a "Miscellaneous" section may follow all
459 other named sections.
461 These guidelines are not hard-and-fast rules, and exceptions
462 will occur. Following these guidelines (vague as they may be)
463 is highly recommended to try to keep the formatting of
464 this section consistent.
466 We give manpage references using the &man entities where
467 possible. If a driver has no manpage (and consequently no
468 &man entity, we simply give the name of the driver).
469 Please avoid doing &man entity conversions unless you
470 know for sure that an entity and manpage exist; sweeps through
471 this file to fix "missed" conversions are likely to break the
476 <title>Supported Devices</title>
478 <para>This section describes the devices currently known to be
479 supported by &os;. Other configurations
480 may also work, but simply have not been tested yet. Feedback,
481 updates, and corrections to this list are encouraged.</para>
483 <para>Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or class
484 of devices is listed. If the driver in question has a manual page
485 in the &os; base distribution (most should), it is referenced here.
486 Information on specific models of supported devices, controllers,
487 etc. can be found in the manual pages.</para>
490 <para>The device lists in this document are being generated
491 automatically from &os; manual pages. This means that some
492 devices, which are supported by multiple drivers, may appear
493 multiple times.</para>
