70 <para>Since mid-2003 &os;/&arch.amd64; has supported the AMD64
71 (<quote>Hammer</quote>) and &intel; EM64T architecture, and is
72 now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported
73 architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality
74 with respects to all aspects of the &os; operating system,
75 including installation and development environments.</para>

131
132 <para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
133 different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which
134 &os;/ia64 supports. Some &intel;'s old documentation refers
135 to &intel; EM64T as <quote>64-bit extension technology</quote>
136 or <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
137
138 <para>The largest tested memory configuration to date is 64GB.
139 SMP support has been recently completed and is reasonably
140 robust.</para>
141
142 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
143 &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. There may be
144 some issues with 64-bit cleanliness in some (particularly
145 older) drivers. Generally, drivers that already function
146 correctly on other 64-bit platforms should work.</para>
147
148 <para>&os;/&arch.amd64; is a very young platform on &os;. While
149 the core &os; kernel and base system components are generally
150 fairly robust, there are likely to still be rough edges,
151 particularly with third party packages.</para>

156 <title>i386</title>
157
158 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
159 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
160 hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
161 to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
162 by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
163 presented here.</para>
164
165 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
166 point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
167 with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
168 &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
169 variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
170 All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
171 including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
172 &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
173 Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
174 &Eacute;lan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
175 Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
176 &i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
177
178 <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
179 architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and
180 PCI expansion busses are well-supported. There is some
181 limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
182 expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
183
184 <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
185 supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
186 bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of
187 the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
188
189 <para>&os; will take advantage of HyperThreading (HTT) support
190 on &intel; CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the
191 <literal>options&nbsp;SMP</literal> feature enabled will
192 automatically detect the additional logical processors. The
193 default &os; scheduler treats the logical processors the same
194 as additional physical processors; in other words, no attempt
195 is made to optimize scheduling decisions given the shared
196 resources between logical processors within the same CPU.
197 Because this naive scheduling can result in suboptimal
198 performance, under certain circumstances it may be useful to
199 disable the logical processors with the
200 <varname>machdep.hyperthreading_allowed</varname> tunable.
201 The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
202
203 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
204 (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
205 with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
206 memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
207 system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
208 and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
209 &man.pae.4; manpage for more details.</para>
210
211 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
212 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
213 as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
214 slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
215 between machines, and frequently require special-case support
216 in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When
217 in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be
218 useful.</para>
219
220 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
221 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
222 &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
223 reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
224 &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
225 instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
226 disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
227 module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
228 to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
229
230 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
231
232 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
233 to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
234 &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
235 this via loader tunables.</para>
236
237 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
238 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
239 bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
240 correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found
241 at the <ulink
242 url="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</ulink>
243 section of the <ulink
244 url="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</ulink> project
245 Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT
246 provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page for
247 more information.</para>

277
278 <para>Most devices that can be found in or are compatible with
279 &arch.ia64; machines are fully supported. The notable
280 exception is the VGA console. The &os; support for VGA
281 consoles is at this time too much based on PC hardware and not
282 all &arch.ia64; machines have chipsets that provide sufficient
283 PC legacy support. As such &man.syscons.4; can not be enabled
284 and the use of a serial console is required.</para>

542 particular the fibre channel controllers in SBus-based systems are not
543 supported. However, it is possible to use these with a SCSI controller
544 supported by the &man.esp.4 driver (Sun ESP SCSI, Sun FAS Fast-SCSI

673 The "Supported Devices" section of the release notes.
674 Generally processor-independent, with conditional text
675 inclusion handling any architecture-dependent text.
676
677 Within each subsection describing a class of hardware
678 (i.e. Ethernet interfaces), list broad groups of devices
679 alphabetically as paragraphs sorted alphabetically (frequently
680 these groups will be arranged by manufacturer, i.e. 3Com
681 Ethernet interfaces).
682
683 Where applicable, a "Miscellaneous" section may follow all
684 other named sections.
685
686 These guidelines are not hard-and-fast rules, and exceptions
687 will occur. Following these guidelines (vague as they may be)
688 is highly recommended to try to keep the formatting of
689 this section consistent.
690
691 We give manpage references using the &man entities where
692 possible. If a driver has no manpage (and consequently no
693 &man entity, we simply give the name of the driver).
694 Please avoid doing &man entity conversions unless you
695 know for sure that an entity and manpage exist; sweeps through
696 this file to fix "missed" conversions are likely to break the
697 build.

708 <para>Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or

132 <para>&intel; EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and
133 different from &intel; IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which
134 &os;/ia64 supports. Some &intel;'s old documentation refers
135 to &intel; EM64T as <quote>64-bit extension technology</quote>
136 or <quote>IA-32e</quote>.</para>
137
138 <para>The largest tested memory configuration to date is 64GB.
139 SMP support has been recently completed and is reasonably
140 robust.</para>
141
142 <para>In many respects, &os;/&arch.amd64; is similar to
143 &os;/&arch.i386;, in terms of drivers supported. There may be
144 some issues with 64-bit cleanliness in some (particularly
145 older) drivers. Generally, drivers that already function
146 correctly on other 64-bit platforms should work.</para>
147
148 <para>&os;/&arch.amd64; is a very young platform on &os;. While
149 the core &os; kernel and base system components are generally
150 fairly robust, there are likely to still be rough edges,
151 particularly with third party packages.</para>

157
158 <para>&os;/&arch.i386; runs on a wide variety of <quote>IBM PC
159 compatible</quote> machines. Due to the wide range of
160 hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible
161 to exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported
162 by &os;. Nevertheless, some general guidelines are
163 presented here.</para>
164
165 <para>Almost all &i386;-compatible processors with a floating
166 point unit are supported. All &intel; processors beginning
167 with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, &pentium;,
168 &pentium; Pro, &pentium; II, &pentium; III, &pentium; 4, and
169 variants thereof, such as the &xeon; and &celeron; processors.
170 All &i386;-compatible AMD processors are also supported,
171 including the &am486;, &am5x86;, K5, &amd.k6; (and variants),
172 &amd.athlon; (including Athlon-MP, Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and
173 Athlon Thunderbird), and &amd.duron; processors. The AMD
174 &Eacute;lan SC520 embedded processor is supported. The
175 Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are
176 &i386;-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.</para>
177
178 <para>There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this
179 architecture. Motherboards using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and
180 PCI expansion busses are well-supported. There is some
181 limited support for the MCA (<quote>MicroChannel</quote>)
182 expansion bus used in the IBM PS/2 line of PCs.</para>
183
184 <para>Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally
185 supported by &os;, although in some cases, BIOS or motherboard
186 bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the archives of
187 the &a.smp; may yield some clues.</para>
188
189 <para>&os; will take advantage of HyperThreading (HTT) support
190 on &intel; CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the
191 <literal>options&nbsp;SMP</literal> feature enabled will
192 automatically detect the additional logical processors. The
193 default &os; scheduler treats the logical processors the same
194 as additional physical processors; in other words, no attempt
195 is made to optimize scheduling decisions given the shared
196 resources between logical processors within the same CPU.
197 Because this naive scheduling can result in suboptimal
198 performance, under certain circumstances it may be useful to
199 disable the logical processors with the
200 <varname>machdep.hyperthreading_allowed</varname> tunable.
201 The &man.smp.4; manual page has more details.</para>
202
203 <para>&os; will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions
204 (PAE) support on CPUs that support this feature. A kernel
205 with the <literal>PAE</literal> feature enabled will detect
206 memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the
207 system. This feature places constraints on the device drivers
208 and other features of &os; which may be used; consult the
209 &man.pae.4; manpage for more details.</para>
210
211 <para>&os; will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with
212 varying levels of support for certain hardware features such
213 as sound, graphics, power management, and PCCARD expansion
214 slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways
215 between machines, and frequently require special-case support
216 in &os; to work around hardware bugs or other oddities. When
217 in doubt, a search of the archives of the &a.mobile; may be
218 useful.</para>
219
220 <para>Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the
221 Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) standard.
222 &os; supports ACPI via the ACPI Component Architecture
223 reference implementation from &intel;, as described in the
224 &man.acpi.4; manual page. The use of ACPI causes
225 instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to
226 disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel
227 module. This may be accomplished by adding the following line
228 to <filename>/boot/device.hints</filename>:</para>
229
230 <programlisting>hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"</programlisting>
231
232 <para>Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful
233 to disable portions of the ACPI functionality. The
234 &man.acpi.4; manual page has more information on how to do
235 this via loader tunables.</para>
236
237 <para>ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table
238 (DSDT) provided by each machine's BIOS. Some machines have
239 bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from functioning
240 correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found
241 at the <ulink
242 url="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/index.php">DSDT</ulink>
243 section of the <ulink
244 url="http://acpi.sourceforge.net/">ACPI4Linux</ulink> project
245 Web site. &os; can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT
246 provided by the BIOS; see the &man.acpi.4; manual page for
247 more information.</para>

278 <para>Most devices that can be found in or are compatible with
279 &arch.ia64; machines are fully supported. The notable
280 exception is the VGA console. The &os; support for VGA
281 consoles is at this time too much based on PC hardware and not
282 all &arch.ia64; machines have chipsets that provide sufficient
283 PC legacy support. As such &man.syscons.4; can not be enabled
284 and the use of a serial console is required.</para>

673 The "Supported Devices" section of the release notes.
674 Generally processor-independent, with conditional text
675 inclusion handling any architecture-dependent text.
676
677 Within each subsection describing a class of hardware
678 (i.e. Ethernet interfaces), list broad groups of devices
679 alphabetically as paragraphs sorted alphabetically (frequently
680 these groups will be arranged by manufacturer, i.e. 3Com
681 Ethernet interfaces).
682
683 Where applicable, a "Miscellaneous" section may follow all
684 other named sections.
685
686 These guidelines are not hard-and-fast rules, and exceptions
687 will occur. Following these guidelines (vague as they may be)
688 is highly recommended to try to keep the formatting of
689 this section consistent.
690
691 We give manpage references using the &man entities where
692 possible. If a driver has no manpage (and consequently no
693 &man entity, we simply give the name of the driver).
694 Please avoid doing &man entity conversions unless you
695 know for sure that an entity and manpage exist; sweeps through
696 this file to fix "missed" conversions are likely to break the
697 build.

703 <para>This section describes the devices currently known to be
704 supported by &os;. Other configurations may also work, but
705 simply have not been tested yet. Feedback, updates, and
706 corrections to this list are encouraged.</para>
707
708 <para>Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or
709 class of devices is listed. If the driver in question has a
710 manual page in the &os; base distribution (most should), it is

712 devices, controllers, etc. can be found in the manual
713 pages.</para>

716 <para>The device lists in this document are being generated
717 automatically from &os; manual pages. This means that some
