<title>Introduction</title>
<para>This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for
&os; &release.current;. It lists the hardware platforms
supported by &os;, as well as the various types of hardware
devices (storage controllers, network interfaces, and so on),
along with known working instances of these devices.</para>

<sect1 xml:id="proc">
<title>Supported Processors and System Boards</title>
<para>This section provides some architecture-specific information
about the specific processors and systems that are supported by
each architecture.</para>
<sect2 xml:id="proc-amd64">
<title>amd64</title>
<para>Since mid-2003 &os;/&arch.amd64; has supported the AMD64
(<quote>Hammer</quote>) and &intel; EM64T architecture, and is
now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported
architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality
with respects to all aspects of the &os; operating system,
including installation and development environments.</para>
<para>Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64
(AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology).
64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible
with each other, and &os;/&arch.amd64; supports them
both.</para>

Processor Spec Finder</link> for the definitive answer
about EM64T support in Intel processors.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture. Some of
&intel;'s old documentation refers to &intel; EM64T as
<quote>64-bit extension technology</quote> or
<quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
<para>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP)
configurations are supported.</para>
<para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
&os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. Generally,
drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit
platforms should work.</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 xml:id="proc-i386">
<title>i386</title>
<para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
presented here.</para>
<para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
&pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
&amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
Élan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
&i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
<para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and
PCI expansion buses are well-supported. There is some
limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
<para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of
the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
<para>&os; will take advantage of SMT (Symmetric MultiThreading,
also known as HyperThreading on &intel; CPUs) on the supported
CPUs. The <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel which is
installed by default will automatically detect the additional
logical processors. The default &os; scheduler recognizes
processor topology on the system and selects logical and
physical processors to obtain optimal performance.
The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
<para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
(PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
&man.pae.4; manual page for more details.</para>
<para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
between machines, and frequently require special-case support
in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When
in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be
useful.</para>
<para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
&os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
&man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
<para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
&man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
this via loader tunables.</para>
<para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
(DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found
at the <link
xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</link>
section of the <link
xlink:href="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</link>
project Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the
DSDT provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page
for more information.</para>

<sect2 xml:id="proc-pc98">
<title>pc98</title>
<para>NEC PC-9801/9821 series with almost all &i386;-compatible
processors, including 80486, &pentium;, &pentium; Pro,
&pentium; II, and variants. All &i386;-compatible processors
by AMD, Cyrix, IBM, and IDT are also supported.</para>
<para>NEC FC-9801/9821 series, and NEC SV-98 series (both of
them are compatible with PC-9801/9821 series) should be
supported.</para>
<para>EPSON PC-386/486/586 series, which are compatible with NEC
PC-9801 series are supported.</para>
<para>High-resolution mode is not supported. NEC
PC-98XA/XL/RL/XL^2, and NEC PC-H98 series are supported in
normal (PC-9801 compatible) mode only.</para>
<para>Although there are some multi-processor systems (such as
Rs20/B20), SMP-related features of &os; are not supported
yet.</para>
<para>PC-9801/9821 standard bus (called C-Bus), PC-9801NOTE
expansion bus (110pin), and PCI bus are supported. New Extend
Standard Architecture (NESA) bus (used in PC-H98, SV-H98, and
FC-H98 series) is not supported.</para>

<para>This section describes the systems currently known to be
supported by &os; on the Fujitsu &sparc64; and Sun
&ultrasparc; platforms.</para>
<para>SMP is supported on all systems with more than 1
processor.</para>
<para>When using the <filename>GENERIC</filename> kernel,
&os;/&arch.sparc64; systems not equipped with a framebuffer
supported by the &man.creator.4; (Sun Creator, Sun Creator3D

as well as the ATI Mach64 chips found onboard in for example
&sun.blade; 100, &sun.blade; 150, &sun.ultra; 5 and
&sun.ultra; 10) driver must use the serial console.</para>
<para>If you have a system that is not listed here, it may not
have been tested with &os; &release.current;. We encourage
you to try it and send a note to the &a.sparc; with your

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