CPU, Main Boards, and Video Support
Complete information regarding supported DEC Alphas can be found at
Linux Alpha HOWTO. The
purpose of this section is to describe the systems supported
by the boot disks.
Alpha machines are subdivided into different system types because there
are a number of generations of motherboard and supporting chip-sets.
Different systems (``sub-architectures'') often have radically different
engineering and capabilities. Therefore, the process of installing and,
more to the point, booting, can vary from system to system.
The following table lists the system types supported by the Debian
installation system. The table also indicates the code
name for these system types. You'll need to know this code
name when you actually begin the installation process:
