+      <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>

+  Within each subsection describing a class of hardware

+
+  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

+  this file to fix "missed" conversions are likely to break the
