Joel Stanleyaf187cc2018-03-14 14:28:12 +1030[diff] [blame]1Supported Boot Devices
2======================
3
4The OpenPower firmware uses Linux as a bootloader in order to discover boot
5devices, and boot the final operating system. In order to discover boot devices
6and load the operating system image from them, the bootloader's kernel needs to
7include support for that hardware.
8
9This table lists the network adaptors and disk controllers that are currently
10enabled.
11
12If you are adding a device to the kernel, please add the details here including
13your email address in the owner field. We will use this to contact users when
14considering the removal of modules.
15
16Likewise, if you are removing an option from the kernel config, please remove
17it from this table and notify the person mentioned in the owner field.
