== Introduction ==
This Mainboard compatibility list for Proxmox VE is work in progress and is never complete. Everybody is encouraged to add working configurations - do not forget to add the used Proxmox VE kernel version (2.6.18/2.6.24/2.6.32).


==Intel==
'''Note''': Proxmox VE bases off the Ubuntu kernel, so the following "Ubuntu Server certified hardware" list applies to Proxmox VE too:
* S3000 (2.6.18/2.6.24/2.6.32)
* S3200 (2.6.18/2.6.24/2.6.32)
* S5000Vsa (2.6.32)


==ASUS==
https://certification.ubuntu.com/server
* M4A78T-E (2.6.24) onboard-Nic don't work
 
The Mainboard / Motherboard compatibility list for Proxmox VE below is '''outdated''' and is not complete.
Adding working configurations is still nice - do not forget to add the used Proxmox VE kernel version (5.4.78-2, 5.4.101, ...).

Introduction

Note: Proxmox VE bases off the Ubuntu kernel, so the following "Ubuntu Server certified hardware" list applies to Proxmox VE too:

https://certification.ubuntu.com/server

The Mainboard / Motherboard compatibility list for Proxmox VE below is outdated and is not complete. Adding working configurations is still nice - do not forget to add the used Proxmox VE kernel version (5.4.78-2, 5.4.101, ...).
