| The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem, | |
| ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine. | |
| Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the | |
| flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems | |
| have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is | |
| disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce" | |
| as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a | |
| problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce" | |
| to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like | |

| ---help--- | |
| Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems. | |
| However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4 | |
| Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of | |
| physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the | |
| kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called | |
| "high memory". | |
| If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with | |
| more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default | |
| choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB" | |
| split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory | |
| space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used | |
| by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as | |
| possible. | |
| If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then | |
| answer "4GB" here. | |
| If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This | |
| selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on. | |
| PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully | |
| supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel | |
| processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here, | |
| then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE! | |
| The actual amount of total physical memory will either be | |

| such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of | |

| Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point | |

| a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can | |
| give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a | |
| coprocessor or this emulation. | |
| If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you | |
| say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will | |
| be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel | |
| command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor | |
| is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot | |
| loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at | |
| boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you | |
| intend to use this kernel on different machines. | |
| More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor | |
| emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>. | |

| config MTRR | |
| bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support" | |
| ---help--- | |
| On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later) | |
| the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control | |
| processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have | |
| a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining | |
| allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer | |
| before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance | |
| of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a | |
| /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's | |
| MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. | |
| This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar | |
| control registers on other processors can be easily supported | |
| as well: | |
| The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range | |
| Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For | |
| these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs. | |
| The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two | |
| MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing | |
| write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code | |
| and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them. | |
| Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only | |
| set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This | |
| can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here. | |
| You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll | |
| just add about 9 KB to your kernel. | |

| help | |
| kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your | |

| but it is indepedent of the system firmware. And like a reboot | |
| you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux. | |
| The name comes from the similiarity to the exec system call. | |
| It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine | |
| is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not | |
| initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging | |

| of kexec on panic the fail safe kernel needs to run at a different | |
| address than the panic-ed kernel. This option is used to set the load | |
| address for kernels used to capture crash dump on being kexec'ed | |
| after panic. The default value for crash dump kernels is | |
| 0x1000000 (16MB). This can also be set based on the "X" value as | |
| specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter | |
| passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as | |
| crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at | |

| ---help--- | |
| APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different | |
| techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with | |
| APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be | |
| reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide | |
| battery status information, and user-space programs will receive | |
| notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change). | |
| If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM | |
| BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time. | |
| Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for | |
| machines with more than one CPU. | |
| In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location | |
| and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the | |
| Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from | |
| <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. | |
| This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8) | |
| manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off | |
| VESA-compliant "green" monitors. | |
| This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER | |
| 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green" | |
| desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver | |
| may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase. | |
| Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't | |
| much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get | |
| random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to | |
| anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling | |
| APM in your BIOS). | |
| Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random, | |
| "weird" problems: | |
| 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is | |
| enabled. | |
| 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel | |
| 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass | |
| the "no387" option to the kernel | |
| 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel | |
| 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling | |
| all but the first 4 MB of RAM) | |
| 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked. | |
| 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/> | |
| 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings | |
| 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM | |
| 10) install a better fan for the CPU | |
| 11) exchange RAM chips | |
| 12) exchange the motherboard. | |

| config APM_DO_ENABLE | |

| ---help--- | |
| Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS | |
| specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically | |
| power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend | |
| State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls." | |
| This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this | |
| feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This | |
| should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features | |
| will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn | |
| this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM | |
| support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn | |
| this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba | |

| Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop. | |

| a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls | |
| are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g., | |
| 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or | |

| when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to | |
| do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this | |
