| Supported Boot Devices |
| ====================== |
| |
| The OpenPower firmware uses Linux as a bootloader in order to discover boot |
| devices, and boot the final operating system. In order to discover boot devices |
| and load the operating system image from them, the bootloader's kernel needs to |
| include support for that hardware. |
| |
| This table lists the network adaptors and disk controllers that are currently |
| enabled. |
| |
| If you are adding a device to the kernel, please add the details here including |
| your email address in the owner field. We will use this to contact users when |
| considering the removal of modules. |
| |
| Likewise, if you are removing an option from the kernel config, please remove |
| it from this table and notify the person mentioned in the owner field. |
