        <p>This document contains the hardware compatibility notes
        for FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE on the IA-64 hardware platform
        (also referred to as FreeBSD/ia64 5.1-RELEASE). It lists
        devices known to work on this platform, as well as some
        notes on boot-time kernel customization that may be useful
        when attempting to configure support for new devices.</p>

        Supported Processors and Motherboards</a></h1>

        <p>Currently supported processors are the <a
        href="http://www.intel.com/design/itanium/itanium/index.htm"
         target="_top">Itanium</a> and the <a
        href="http://www.intel.com/design/itanium2/index.htm"
        target="_top">Itanium 2</a>.</p>

        <p>Supported chipsets include:</p>

        <ul>
          <li>
            <p>HP zx1 (only on development branch, see the <a
            href="http://perforce.FreeBSD.org/"
            target="_top">Perforce repository</a>)</p>
          </li>

          <li>
            <p>HP i2000</p>
          </li>

          <li>
            <p>Intel 460GX</p>
          </li>

          <li>
            <p>Intel E8870</p>
          </li>
        </ul>

        <p>Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor
        (SMP) configurations are under active development. At this
        time, SMP-enabled systems are considered less stable. The
        current priorities are UP fixes to improve stability.</p>

          Supported Devices Overview</a></h2>

          <p>This section contains additional information about
          what devices may or may not be supported by
          FreeBSD/ia64.</p>

          <p>Except for the PC chipset embedded <a
          href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ata&amp;sektion=4&amp;manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-release">
          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">ata</span>(4)</span></a>
          controllers, most should work out of the box. Eventually,
          all ia64-compatible ATA controllers are expected to be
          fully supported. Refer to the following sections for
          various disk controllers and their current status.</p>

          <p>In general, ``PC standard'' serial ports supported by
          the <a
          href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sio&amp;sektion=4&amp;manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-release">
          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">sio</span>(4)</span></a> driver are
          expected to work on Intel legacy machines, but not PA
          legacy machines. The reason is that all devices on HP
          machines are memory-mapped and there is <span
          class="emphasis"><i class="EMPHASIS">no</i></span> ISA
          device support other than the PCI dictated VGA
          legacy.</p>

          <p>In addition to <a
          href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sio&amp;sektion=4&amp;manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-release">
          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">sio</span>(4)</span></a> devices,
          the following devices fail on non-Intel legacy machines
          (but should work on boxes with an Intel legacy) because
          their drivers make ISA-specific assumptions that do not
          hold:</p>

        supported by with FreeBSD on the IA-64 platform. Other
        configurations may also work, but simply have not been

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