56 <para>This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for
57 &os; &release.current;. It lists the hardware platforms
58 supported by &os;, as well as the various types of hardware
59 devices (storage controllers, network interfaces, and so on),
60 along with known working instances of these devices.</para>
64 <title>Supported Processors and System Boards</title>
66 <para>This section provides some architecture-specific information
67 about the specific processors and systems that are supported by
68 each architecture.</para>
70 <sect2 xml:id="proc-amd64">
73 <para>Since mid-2003 &os;/&arch.amd64; has supported the AMD64
74 (<quote>Hammer</quote>) and &intel; EM64T architecture, and is
75 now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported
76 architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality
77 with respects to all aspects of the &os; operating system,
78 including installation and development environments.</para>
80 <para>Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64
81 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology).
82 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible
83 with each other, and &os;/&arch.amd64; should support them
86 <para>As of this writing, the following processors are
91 <para>&amd.athlon;64 (<quote>Clawhammer</quote>).</para>
95 <para>&amd.opteron; (<quote>Sledgehammer</quote>).</para>
99 <para>All multi-core &intel; &xeon; processors except
100 Sossaman have EM64T support.</para>
104 <para>The single-core &intel; &xeon; processors
105 <quote>Nocona</quote>, <quote>Irwindale</quote>,
106 <quote>Potomac</quote>, and <quote>Cranford</quote> have
107 EM64T support.</para>
111 <para>All &intel; Core 2 (not Core Duo) and later
116 <para>All &intel; &pentium; D processors</para>
120 <para>&intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
121 the <quote>Cedar Mill</quote> core have EM64T
126 <para>Some &intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
127 the <quote>Prescott</quote> core have EM64T support. See
129 xlink:href="http://processorfinder.intel.com">Intel
130 Processor Spec Finder</link> for the definitive answer
131 about EM64T support in Intel processors.</para>
136 <para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
137 different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which
138 &os;/ia64 supports. Some of &intel;'s old documentation
139 refers to &intel; EM64T as <quote>64-bit extension
140 technology</quote> or <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
142 <para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
143 configurations are supported.</para>
145 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
146 &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. Generally,
147 drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit
148 platforms should work.</para>
152 <sect2 xml:id="proc-i386">
155 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
156 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
157 hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
158 to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
159 by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
160 presented here.</para>
162 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
163 point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
164 with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
165 &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
166 variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
167 All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
168 including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
169 &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
170 Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
171 Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
172 Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
173 &i386;-compatible 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
177 PCI expansion buses are well-supported. There is some
178 limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
179 expansion bus 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
184 the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
186 <para>&os; will take advantage of SMT (Symmetric MultiThreading,
187 also known as HyperThreading on &intel; CPUs) on the supported
188 CPUs. The <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel which is
189 installed by default will automatically detect the additional
190 logical processors. The default &os; scheduler recognizes
191 processor topology on the system and selects logical and
192 physical processors to obtain optimal performance.
193 The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
195 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
196 (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
197 with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
198 memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
199 system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
200 and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
201 &man.pae.4; manual page for more details.</para>
203 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
204 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
205 as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
206 slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
207 between machines, and frequently require special-case support
208 in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities.</para>
210 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
211 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
212 &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
213 reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
214 &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
215 instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
216 disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
217 module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
218 to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
220 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
222 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
223 to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
224 &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
225 this via loader tunables.</para>
227 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
228 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
229 bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
230 correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found
232 xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</link>
234 xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</link>
235 project Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the
236 DSDT provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page
237 for more information.</para>
240 <sect2 xml:id="proc-ia64">

261 <para>&intel; E8870</para>
265 <para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
266 configurations are supported.</para>
268 <para>Most devices that can be found in or are compatible with
269 &arch.ia64; machines are fully supported. The notable
270 exception is the VGA console. The &os; support for VGA
271 consoles is at this time too much based on PC hardware and not
272 all &arch.ia64; machines have chipsets that provide sufficient
273 PC legacy support. As such &man.syscons.4; cannot be enabled
274 and the use of a serial console is required.</para>

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

286 them are compatible with PC-9801/9821 series) should be

293 PC-98XA/XL/RL/XL^2, and NEC PC-H98 series are supported in
294 normal (PC-9801 compatible) mode only.</para>
296 <para>Although there are some multi-processor systems (such as
297 Rs20/B20), SMP-related features of &os; are not supported
300 <para>PC-9801/9821 standard bus (called C-Bus), PC-9801NOTE

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

648 simply have not been tested yet. Feedback, updates, and
649 corrections to this list are encouraged.</para>
651 <para>Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or
652 class of devices is listed. If the driver in question has a
