<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>
<sect1 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 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; should support them
both.</para>
<para>As of this writing, the following processors are
supported:</para>

</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Some &intel; &pentium; 4s and Celeron Ds using
the <quote>Prescott</quote> core have EM64T support. See
the <ulink url="http://processorfinder.intel.com">Intel
Processor Spec Finder</ulink> 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, which
&os;/ia64 supports. Some &intel;'s old documentation refers
to &intel; EM64T as <quote>64-bit extension technology</quote>
or <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
<para>The largest tested memory configuration to date is 64GB.
SMP support has been recently completed and is reasonably
robust.</para>
<para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
&os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. There may be
some issues with 64-bit cleanliness in some (particularly
older) drivers. Generally, drivers that already function
correctly on other 64-bit platforms should work.</para>
<para>&os;/&arch.amd64; is a very young platform on &os;. While
the core &os; kernel and base system components are generally
fairly robust, there are likely to still be rough edges,
particularly with third party packages.</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 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 busses 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 HyperThreading (HTT) support
on &intel; CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the
<literal>options SMP</literal> feature enabled will
automatically detect the additional logical processors. The
default &os; scheduler treats the logical processors the same
as additional physical processors; in other words, no attempt
is made to optimize scheduling decisions given the shared
resources between logical processors within the same CPU.
Because this naive scheduling can result in suboptimal
performance, under certain circumstances it may be useful to
disable the logical processors with the
<varname>machdep.hyperthreading_allowed</varname> tunable.
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; manpage 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 <ulink
url="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</ulink>
section of the <ulink
url="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</ulink> 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>

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

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

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

<!--
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 manpage references using the &man entities where
possible. If a driver has no manpage (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 manpage exist; sweeps through
this file to fix "missed" conversions are likely to break the
build.
