published by the Free software Foundation; either version 2 of the

This document attempts to list most of the hardware known to be
either supported or unsupported under Linux.
Introduction
This document lists most of the hardware components (not whole
computers) known to be supported or not supported under Linux, so
reading through this document you can choose the components for your
own Linux computer and know what to avoid. As the list of components
supported by Linux changes constantly, this document will never be
complete. If a component is not mentioned in this HOWTO, I simply
have not found support for the component and nobody has told me about
support.
Subsections titled 'Alpha, Beta drivers' list hardware with alpha or
beta drivers in varying degrees of usability. Note that some drivers
only exist in alpha kernels, so if you see something listed as
supported but isn't in your version of the Linux kernel, upgrade.
Notes on binary-only drivers
Some devices are supported by binary-only modules; avoid these when
you can. Binary-only modules are modules which are compiled for ONE
kernel version. The source code for these modules has NOT been
released. This may prevent you from upgrading or maintaining your
system. It will also prevent you from using the component on
alternate (usually non-x86) architectures.
Linus Torvalds says I allow binary-only modules, but I want
people to know that they are _only_ ever expected to
work on the one version of the kernel that they were compiled
for. (See
http://lwn.net/1999/0211/a/lt-binary.html
for the rest of the message.)
Notes on commercial drivers
Various commercial drivers for sound, video, etc. exist for Linux.
Tracking these commercial drivers is beyond the scope of this
document. These drivers might be mentioned at various points in
this document, but note that no effort has been made to make sure
that this information is current.
System architectures
This document primarily deals with Linux for x86-based platforms.
For other platforms, check the following:
AlphaARMCRIS (Axis
Communications ETRAX 100LX embedded CPU)IA-64m68kMIPSPA-RISCPowerPCS/390SuperHSPARC
There are also the ELKS and uClinux ports, which are
forks of the mainstream kernel source designed for MMU-less
(mostly very low-end and embedded) systems.

Known problems with this document
This document can't possibly be up-to-date at all times. I would
like to see this document be a useful reference again. The
following items need to be fixed for that to happen:
Old cruft needs to be eliminated. Much of this document was
written in 1995, give or take, when PCI was new and not
supported terribly well, and ISA PnP was seen as something
evil. Oh, how the times have changed...
Also, many of the model numbers listed in this document are
no longer available, and are probably not of much interest to
the vast majority of people. Personally, I think hardware
that hasn't been available for more than 5 years or so can
safely be removed. Old versions of this document will always
be available on the Internet...
URLs in this document need updating. I've begun to do that,
but it is a big job... Diffs are welcome.
In the process of updating and converting this document to
DocBook, some cruft was introduced. If anyone wants to help
clean up this, get the latest source (preferably by emailing
me at steve@silug.org) and grep for "FIXME".
Lists in this HOWTO that are available in other HOWTOs or
FAQs need to be either updated here or dropped completely
from this document. (A good example is the list of video
cards supported by XFree86.)
Newer interfaces such as USB need to be added into the list.
(Would a USB-attached hard drive go under "USB", "Removable
drives", "Hard drives", or all of the above?)
And, of course, random hardware that just isn't listed in
this document needs to be added.
All of this is going to require a lot of work. If this happens to
interest you, please email steve@silug.org. I can
use the help. :-)
New versions of this document
The latest version of this document can be found on the Linux
Documentation Project home site or any of its many mirrors.
Feedback and corrections
If you have questions or comments about this document, please feel
free to email Steven Pritchard at steve@silug.org.
I also welcome corrections and additions. At some point in the
near future, I plan to set up a web interface for adding components
to this document. In the mean time, please just use the word
"hardware" somewhere in the subject when sending corrections or
additions.
Acknowledgments
This document has passed through many hands. I don't know if he
wrote the first version, but in 1993 Ed Carp was maintaining it.
In August of 1994, FRiC (Boy of Destiny) took over. After he fell
off the face of the planet in late 1995 or early 1996 (and we all
miss him from IRC, I might add), Patrick Reijnen took over
(sometime in 1997) and continued to maintain this document until
late 1999.
Recent versions of this document contained the following:
Thanks to all the authors and contributors of other HOWTO's,
many things here are shamelessly stolen from their works; to
FRiC, Zane Healy and Ed Carp, the original authors of this
HOWTO; and to everyone else who sent in updates and feedbacks.
Special thanks to Eric Boerner and lilo (the person, not the
program) for the sanity checks. And thanks to Dan Quinlan for
the original SGML conversion.
Many thanks to all those who have contributed to this document over
the years.
In addition, I'd like to thank the many members of the Southern Illinois Linux Users
Group and the Linux Users
of Central Illinois for giving me so many interesting
problems to solve over the years, and, of course, my wife Kara for
putting up with me all these years. :-)

a recent BIOS and a recent 2.2.x or 2.4.x kernel.
The following are old notes and are probably out of date.
IBM PS/2 MCA systems
Supported since kernel version 2.0.7, but only for the stable
kernel releases. For information you can look at the
Micro Channel Linux Home Page.
Software for MCA systems can
be found
here. Information on the MCA SCSI
subsystem can be found
here.
EFA E5TX-AT motherboard has a solvable problem with RedHat
Linux 5.0 and possibly other versions of Linux. It
spontaneously reboots while probing hardware. To solve,
update BIOS to version 1.01. Get the BIOS update
here.
The Zida 6MLX motherboard with PII Intel LX chipset is
mentioned only to work with Linux when the PII cache is
disabled in BIOS. BIOS upgrade does not solve the problem.
Symptom is random reboots during or shortly after system boot.
Unsupported
Supermicro P5MMA with BIOS versions 1.36, 1.37 and 1.4. Linux
will not boot on this motherboard. A new (beta) release of
the BIOS which makes Linux boot, is available
here.
Supermicro P5MMA98. Linux will not boot on this motherboard.
A new (beta) release of the BIOS which makes Linux boot, is
available
here.
DataExpert Corp. ExpertColor TX531 V1.0 motherboard with
chipset ACER M1531 (Date: 9729, TS6) and ACER M1543 (Date:
9732 TS6) seems to present not reproducible segmentations
faults, kernel oops and kernel hangs under heavy load and
tape access. The problem seems to be the PCI-bus,
respectively the ACER chipset.

PCMCIA drivers currently support all common PCMCIA controllers,
including Databook TCIC/2, Intel i82365SL, Cirrus PD67xx, and
Vadem VG-468 chipsets. Motorola 6AHC05GA controller used in some
Hyundai laptops is not supported. See Appendix B for a list of
supported PCMCIA cards.
CPU/FPU
Please see this note for more on non-x86
hardware.
Intel
Intel 386SX/DX/SL, 486SX/DX/SL/SX2/DX2/DX4, Pentium, Pentium Pro,
Pentium II, Pentium III (regular and Xeon versions), Pentium 4,
and Celeron are all supported.
AMD
AMD 386SX/DX, 486SX/DX/DX2/DX4, K5, K6, K6-2, K6-3, and Athlon (all
varieties, including MP) are all supported. Older versions of K6
should be avoided as they are buggy. Setting "internal cache"
disabled in bios setup can be a workaround. Some early K6-2 300Mhz
have problems with the system chips.
The old NexGen processors are also supported.
A few very early AMD 486DX's may hang in some special situations. All
current chips should be okay and getting a chip swap for old CPU's
should not be a problem.
Cyrix
Cyrix 386SX/DX, 486SX/DX, 5x86, 6x86, and MediaGX are all supported.

Cyrix 5x86 CPU register settingsIDTIDT Winchip
C6-PSME2006A processors are supported under Linux.
Transmeta
The Transmeta
Crusoe
processors are supported.
Misc. notes
Linux has built-in FPU emulation if you don't have a math coprocessor.
Linux supports SMP (multiple CPUs) in all 2.x kernels. See the
Linux SMP
HOWTO for more information.
ULSI Math*Co series has a bug in the FSAVE and FRSTOR instructions that
causes problems with all protected mode operating systems. Some older
IIT and Cyrix chips may also have this problem.
There are problems with TLB flushing in UMC U5S chips in very old
kernels. (1.1.x)
Memory
All memory like DRAM, EDO and SDRAM can be used with Linux. Be aware
that older kernels or kernels running on a mortherboard with an older
BIOS may only be able to detect 64MB of RAM. If you have this
problem, when you add more than 64 Mb of memory you have to add the
following line to your LILO configuration file:
append="mem=<number of Mb>M"
So when you have 96 MB of memory this should become
append="mem=96M"
Don't use a number higher than the amount of RAM you really have.
This will cause crashes.
Video cardsPlease note that this section is currently being
updated, so some information may not be entirely correct or
complete.
Linux will work with all video cards in text mode, VGA cards not listed
below probably will still work with mono VGA and/or standard VGA drivers.
If you're looking into buying a cheap video card to run X, keep in mind
that accelerated cards (ATI Mach, ET4000/W32p, S3) are MUCH faster than
unaccelerated or partially accelerated (Cirrus, WD) cards.
"32 bpp" is actually 24 bit color aligned on 32 bit boundaries. It
does NOT mean the cards are capable of 32 bit color, they still
display 24 bit color (16,777,216 colors). 24 bit packed pixels modes
are not supported in XFree86, so cards that can do 24 bit modes to
get higher resolutions in other OS's are not able to do this in X
using XFree86. These cards include Mach32, Cirrus 542x, S3
801/805/868/968, ET4000, and others.
AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) support is growing fast. Most of the
X-servers (both freely available and commercial versions) have more
or less support for AGP.
XFree86
The following is a list of cards known to work with XFree86
versions 3.3.6 and/or 4.1.0. See the XFree86 web site for
more information.

(Accelerated-X)Metro Link
(Metro-X)Kernel Framebuffer (fbdev)
The kernel supports a graphical console on some video cards. This
support was originally designed for non-x86 architectures which
generally do not have text-capable video cards. It was integrated
into the kernel in 2.2, and now supports various video cards.
More information can be found at
linux-fbdev.org.
The following cards are supported:
Amiga builtin chipset (amifb)
ATARI builtin chipset (atafb)

Please see the IDE RAID controller
section for information on IDE controllers with hardware RAID
support.
Linux will work with standard IDE, MFM and RLL controllers. When using
MFM/RLL controllers it is important to use ext2fs and the bad block
checking options when formatting the disk.
ESDI controllers that emulate the ST-506 (MFM/RLL/IDE) interface will
also work. The bad block checking comment also applies to these
controllers.
Generic 8 bit XT controllers also work.

Controllers (SCSI)
It is important to pick a SCSI controller carefully. Many cheap ISA
SCSI controllers are designed to drive CD-ROM's rather than anything
else. Such low-end SCSI controllers are no better than IDE. See the
SCSI HOWTO and look at performance figures before buying a SCSI card.
Please see the SCSI RAID controller
section for information on SCSI controllers with hardware RAID
support.

IDE RAID Controllers
Tekram D690CD IDE PCI Cache Controller (with RAID level 1
Mirroring and caching)
ARCO Inc. DupliDisk IDE disk mirroring controller
Support for ATA, IDE, E-IDE and UDMA drive. Controllers
available can be plugged into ISA and PCI slots, and directly
into the IDE controller. Furthermore, 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch
Bay Mount units are available that fit into the respective
drive bays. More information at
Arco's web site.
Make sure you have at least rev 3.00 of the firmware.
3ware Escalade IDE RAID controllers
3ware's 5000-series and 6000-series controllers have been
supported since kernel 2.2.15. Support for the 7000-series
controllers and RAID5 on the 6000-series controllers requires
kernel 2.4.5 or 2.2.20 or better. Also make sure to use a
recent firmware for RAID 5, since older firmware revisions
(and older versions of the driver) can cause data
corruption when a RAID 5 array runs degraded.
Adaptec ATA RAID 2400A
4-port ATA/100 controller which supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID
1+0, and RAID 5. Use the dpt_i2o driver, which is
included in recent 2.4.x kernels.
Promise SuperTRAK SX6000
6-port ATA/100 controller which supports RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 1+0, RAID 3, and RAID 5. Use the pti_st driver or
the generic i2o drivers. Be sure to set the BIOS on the
card for "Other OS" instead of "Linux", and check for
firmware updates.
Controllers (I/O)
Any standard serial/parallel/joystick/combo cards. Linux
supports 8250, 16450, 16550, and 16550A UART's. Cards that support
non-standard IRQ's (IRQ > 9) can be used.
See National Semiconductor's ``Application Note AN-493'' by
Martin S. Michael. Section 5.0 describes in detail the
differences between the NS16550 and NS16550A. Briefly, the
NS16550 had bugs in the FIFO circuits, but the NS16550A (and
later) chips fixed those. However, there were very few NS16550's
produced by National, long ago, so these should be very rare.
And many of the ``16550'' parts in actual modern boards are from
the many manufacturers of compatible parts, which may not use
the National ``A'' suffix. Also, some multiport boards will use
16552 or 16554 or various other multiport or multifunction chips
from National or other suppliers (generally in a dense package
soldered to the board, not a 40 pin DIP). Mostly, don't worry
about it unless you encounter a very old 40 pin DIP National
``NS16550'' (no A) chip loose or in an old board, in which case
treat it as a 16450 (no FIFO) rather than a 16550A. - Zhahai

are set using setserial.)
If you're getting one of these cards, be sure to check
which standard it conforms to, prices are no indication.

Ethernet adapters vary greatly in performance. In general the
newer the design the better. Some very old cards like the 3Com
3c501 are only useful because they can be found in junk heaps
for $5 a time. Be careful with clones, not all are good clones
and bad clones often cause erratic lockups under Linux. Read the
Ethernet HOWTO for detailed descriptions of various cards.
For ethernet cards with the DECchip DC21x4x family the
"Tulip" driver is available. More information on this driver
can be found at

The ASP chip on Sound Blaster 16 series is not supported.
AWE32's onboard E-mu MIDI synthesizer is not supported.
Nathan Laredo <
laredo@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
is willing to write AWE32 drivers if you send him a
complimentary card. He is also willing to write drivers for
almost any hardware if you send him free samples of your
hardware.
Sound Blaster 16's with DSP 4.11 and 4.12 have a hardware
bug that causes hung/stuck notes when playing MIDI and digital
audio at the same time. The problem can happen with either Wave
Blaster daughterboards or MIDI devices attached to the MIDI
port. There is no known fix.
Hard drives
All hard drives should work if the controller is supported.
(From the SCSI HOWTO) All direct access SCSI devices with a
block size of 256, 512, or 1024 bytes should work. Other block
sizes will not work (Note that this can often be fixed by changing
the block and/or sector sizes using the MODE SELECT SCSI
command).
Large IDE (EIDE) drives work fine with newer kernels. The
boot partition must lie in the first 1024 cylinders due to PC BIOS
limitations.
Some Conner CFP1060S drives may have problems with Linux and
ext2fs. The symptoms are inode errors during
e2fsck
and corrupt file systems. Conner has released a firmware upgrade
to fix this problem, contact Conner at 1-800-4CONNER (US) or
+44-1294-315333 (Europe). Have the microcode version (found on
the drive label, 9WA1.6x) handy when you call.
Many Maxtor and Western Digital IDE drives are reported to
not happily co-exist on the same IDE cable with the other
manufacturers drive. Usually one of the drives will fail during
operation. Solution is to put them on different IDE cables.
Certain Micropolis drives have problems with Adaptec and
BusLogic cards, contact the drive manufacturers for firmware
upgrades if you suspect problems.
Multiple device driver (RAID-0, RAID-1)
(driver)Unsupported
The following hard drives are mentioned as not supported
by Linux. Read the bug report available.
NEC D3817, D3825, D3827, D3847 "These drives are
slightly non-SCSI-2 compliant in the values reported in
Mode Sense Page 3. In Mode Sense Page 3 all NEC D38x7
drives report their sector size as zero. The NEC drives
are the first brand of drive we have ever encountered that
reported the sector size as zero. Unfortunately, that
field in Mode Sense Page 3 is not modifiable and there is
no way to update the firmware on the D38x7 drives to
correct this problem." Problems are mentioned for D3825
and D3827 (both revision 0407). Revision 0410 of these two
hard drives seems to solve this problem.
Tape drivesSupported
SCSI tape drives (From the SCSI HOWTO) Drives using both
fixed and variable length blocks smaller than the driver
buffer length (set to 32k in the distribution sources)
are supported. Virtually all drives should work. (Send
mail if you know of any incompatible drives.)

All CD-ROM drives should work similarly for reading data.
There are various compatibility problems with audio CD playing
utilities. (Especially with newer low-end NEC drives.) Some
alpha drivers may not have audio support yet.
Early (single speed) NEC CD-ROM drives may have trouble
with currently available SCSI controllers.
PhotoCD (XA) is supported. The hpcdtoppm program by Hadmut
Danisch converts PhotoCD files to the portable pixmap format.
The program can be obtained from
here
or as part of the PBM utilities.
Also, reading video CD is supported in kernel series
2.1.3x and later. A patch is available for kernel 2.0.30.
Finally, most IDE CD-ROM Changers are supported.
CD-Writers
Many CD-Writers are supported by Linux now. For an up to date
list of CD-Writers supported check the
CD-Writing HOWTO, check
here or check
here. Cdwrite
here and cdrecord
here
can be used for writing CD's. The X-CD-Roast package for Linux
is a graphical front-end for using CD writers. The package can
be found at
here.

Removable drives
All SCSI drives should work if the controller is supported,
including optical (MO), WORM, floptical, Bernoulli, Zip, Jaz,
SyQuest, PD, and others.
Panasonic MO (combines a CD-ROM drive and an optical
removable disk). You have to set a switch when configuring
the kernel to get both part work at the same time.
Parallel port Zip drives
here
Parallel port Avatar Shark-250
here
Removable drives work like hard disks and floppies, just
fdisk /
mkfs
and mount the disks. Linux provides drive locking if your drives
support it.
mtools
can also be used if the disks are in MS-DOS format.
CD-R drives require special software to work. Read the CD-R Mini-HOWTO.
Linux supports both 512 and 1024 bytes/sector disks. Starting
with kernel 2.1.32 Linux also supports 2048 bytes/sector. A
patch to kernel 2.0.30 is available at
here.
The 2048 bytes/sector support is needed for
Fujitsu magneto-optical disk drives M2513
Starting with pre-patch-2.0.31-3 IDE/ATAPI internal Zip drives,
flopticals and PD's are supported.

Notes
Touchpad devices like Alps Glidepoint also work, so long
they're compatible with another mouse protocol.
Newer Logitech mice (except the Mouseman) use the
Microsoft protocol and all three buttons do work. Eventhough
Microsoft's mice have only two buttons, the protocol allows
three buttons.
The mouse port on the ATI Graphics Ultra and Ultra Pro use
the Logitech busmouse protocol. (See the
Busmouse HOWTO for details.)
Modems
All external modems connected via a RS-232 serial port should work.
This includes external ISDN adapters, although some of the extended
features of external ISDN adapaters (such as multilink) may or may
not work.
Internal modems are another story, however. There are many so-called
"winmodems" available now. In fact, it seems that most PCI modems
are winmodems. Some of them do have drivers for Linux now, but many
of the drivers are often binary-only. (See the
note on binary-only drivers.) See
Linmodems.org for more
information on Linux-supported winmodems.
Note that there are external USB winmodems on the market now, so be
very careful when shopping for external modems.
Furthermore, many flash upgradable modems only have
flash programs for Win95/NT. These modems cannot be upgraded under
Linux.
A small number of modems come with DOS software that
downloads the control program at runtime. These can normally be
used by loading the program under DOS and doing a warm boot. Such
modems are probably best avoided as you won't be able to use them
with non PC hardware in the future.
Most 16-bit PCMCIA modems should work with the PCMCIA drivers.
CardBus modems are usually winmodems much like PCI modems. Your best
bet for now is to find a card that lists compatibility with DOS and
Windows 3.1.
All that said, if a modem is known to have a real UART (or hardware
UART emulation), whether it is ISA, PCMCIA, etc., it should work
under Linux.
Fax modems need appropriated fax software to operate. Also
be sure that the fax part of the modem supports Class 2 or Class
2.0. It seems to be generally true for any fax software on unix
that support for Class 1.0 is not available.
An exception to this is the Linux efax program which
supports both Class 1 and Class 2 fax modems. In some cases there
can be a few (minor) technical problems with Class 1 modems. If
you have a choice it is recommend to get a Class 2 modem.
See Appendix E Linux
Incompatible Hardware for specific cards known not to work with
Linux.
The following are other good resources for finding Linux-compatible
modems:
Rob Clark's "Winmodems are not modems" page
Andrew Comech's "PCI modems and Linux" page

Appendix B. Supported PCMCIA cards
These cards are supported by David Hinds' PCMCIA package and
this list is taken from his web page (
here).
CardBus cards are listed at the end of each section. At this
time, all CardBus drivers should be treated as experimental.
Beware that some cards have 16-bit and CardBus versions with very
similar names. If the CardBus version is not specifically listed
as supported here, then you should not expect it to work.
Ethernet cards
SMC, Megahertz and Ositech cards use the smc91c92_cs driver
3Com and Farallon cards use the 3c589_cs driver
Fujitsu, TDK, RATOC, CONTEC, Eagle and Nextcom cards
use the fmvj18x_cs driver
All other cards use the pcnet_cs driver. Other
NE2000-compatible cards that are not on the list are also
likely to work with pcnet_cs.

Appendix C. Supported Parallel Port devices
More and more, the parallel port is used to connect other
devices than printers. To support this parallel port drivers are
written for the devicesto work. This appendix presents devices for
which parallel port support is written.
To be clear: printers are not presented in this appendix as
they are not supported by parallel port support projects.
Also, check the Linux Parallel Port support pages for more

Appendix D. Plug and Play devices
For people having trouble getting Plug and Play devices to
work, the ISA PnP utilities written by Peter Fox are available.
Quote from the README:
These programs allow ISA Plug-And-Play devices to be
configured on a Linux machine. This program is suitable for all
systems, whether or not they include a PnP BIOS.
Commands have been taken from the Plug and Play ISA
specification Version 1.0a.
More information on ISA PnP utilities can be found on the
website of Peter Fox:
here
Please let me know about hardware (not normally supported
under Linux) which can be put to work with the aid of these
utilities. A list of this hardware will be put in this
appendix.
Appendix E. Linux incompatible Hardware
Some hardware manufacturers have created devices which are
compatible with MS-DOS and Windows 95/98 only. They seem to
emulate part of the normally available hardware in the devices by
software packages sold together with the device. Specification on
these devices are not presented to the world so it is almost
impossible to write drivers for these devices. Below a list of
devices reported as being Linux incompatible will be given.
Simply put, it is best to avoid hardware which states things
like "Needs Windows" or "Windows only".

GlossaryAGP
Accelerated Graphics Port. A bus interconnect mechanism
designed to improve performance of 3D graphics
applications. AGP is a dedicated bus from the graphics
subsystem to the core-logic chipset.
hereATAPI
AT Attachment Packet Interface. A new protocol for
controlling mass storage devices similar to SCSI
protocols. It builds on the ATA (AT Attachment) interface,
the official ANSI Standard name for the IDE interface
developed for hard disk drives. ATAPI is commonly used for
hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and other
devices.

RAID
Redudant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks. The basic idea of
RAID is to combine multiple small, inexpensive disk
drives into an array of disk drives which yields
performance exceeding that of a single large expensive
drive. There are five types of redundant array
Architectures; RAID-1 through RAID-5. A non-redudant
array of disk drives is referred to as RAID-0. Some RAID
systems can mix formats.
(more info)PPA
Printing Performance Architecture. Protocol
developed by Hewlett Packard for their series of Deskjet
printers. In essence, the protocol moves the low-level
processing of the data to the host computer rather than
the printer. This allows for a low-cost printer with a
small amount of memory and computing power and a flexible
driver. However, this comes at the price of compatibility.
HP's decision was to develop drivers only for Windows 95
for this printer.
