| config EDD |
| tristate "BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive calls determine boot disk" |
| depends on X86 |
| help |
| Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive |
| Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk |
| BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs. |
| |
| This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some |
| obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do |
| not yet implement this feature. |
| |
| config EDD_OFF |
| bool "Sets default behavior for EDD detection to off" |
| depends on EDD |
| default n |
| help |
| Say Y if you want EDD disabled by default, even though it is compiled into the |
| kernel. Say N if you want EDD enabled by default. EDD can be dynamically set |
| using the kernel parameter 'edd={on|skipmbr|off}'. |
| |
| config FIRMWARE_MEMMAP |
| bool "Add firmware-provided memory map to sysfs" if EMBEDDED |
| default X86 |
| help |
| Add the firmware-provided (unmodified) memory map to /sys/firmware/memmap. |
| That memory map is used for example by kexec to set up parameter area |
| for the next kernel, but can also be used for debugging purposes. |
| |
| See also Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-firmware-memmap. |
| |
| config EFI_VARS |
| tristate "EFI Variable Support via sysfs" |
| depends on EFI |
| default n |
| help |
| If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware |
| Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read, |
| write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface. |
| |
| Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires |
| at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is |
| available from Matt Domsch's website located at: |
| <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz> |
| |
| Subsequent efibootmgr releases may be found at: |
| <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr> |
| |
| config EFI_PCDP |
| bool "Console device selection via EFI PCDP or HCDP table" |
| depends on ACPI && EFI && IA64 |
| default y if IA64 |
| help |
| If your firmware supplies the PCDP table, and you want to |
| automatically use the primary console device it describes |
| as the Linux console, say Y here. |
| |
| If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to |
| use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console, |
| say Y here. If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART |
| device, it will become the console automatically. Otherwise, |
| you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument. |
| |
| Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices, |
| so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending |
| on how the driver discovers devices. |
| |
| You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.) |
| |

| config DELL_RBU |
| tristate "BIOS update support for DELL systems via sysfs" |
| depends on X86 |
| select FW_LOADER |
| help |
| Say m if you want to have the option of updating the BIOS for your |
| DELL system. Note you need a Dell OpenManage or Dell Update package (DUP) |
| supporting application to communicate with the BIOS regarding the new |
| image for the image update to take effect. |
| See <file:Documentation/dell_rbu.txt> for more details on the driver. |
| |
| config DCDBAS |
| tristate "Dell Systems Management Base Driver" |
| depends on X86 |
| help |
| The Dell Systems Management Base Driver provides a sysfs interface |
| for systems management software to perform System Management |
| Interrupts (SMIs) and Host Control Actions (system power cycle or |
| power off after OS shutdown) on certain Dell systems. |
| |
| See <file:Documentation/dcdbas.txt> for more details on the driver |
| and the Dell systems on which Dell systems management software makes |
| use of this driver. |
| |
| Say Y or M here to enable the driver for use by Dell systems |
| management software such as Dell OpenManage. |
| |
| config DMIID |
| bool "Export DMI identification via sysfs to userspace" |
| depends on DMI |
| default y |
| help |
| Say Y here if you want to query SMBIOS/DMI system identification |
| information from userspace through /sys/class/dmi/id/ or if you want |
| DMI-based module auto-loading. |
| |
| config ISCSI_IBFT_FIND |
| bool "iSCSI Boot Firmware Table Attributes" |
| depends on X86 |
| default n |
| help |
| This option enables the kernel to find the region of memory |
| in which the ISCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT) resides. This |
| is necessary for iSCSI Boot Firmware Table Attributes module to work |
| properly. |
| |
| config ISCSI_BOOT_SYSFS |
| tristate "iSCSI Boot Sysfs Interface" |
| default n |
| help |
| This option enables support for exposing iSCSI boot information |
| via sysfs to userspace. If you wish to export this information, |
| say Y. Otherwise, say N. |
| |
| config ISCSI_IBFT |
| tristate "iSCSI Boot Firmware Table Attributes module" |
| select ISCSI_BOOT_SYSFS |
| depends on ISCSI_IBFT_FIND && SCSI |
| default n |
| help |
| This option enables support for detection and exposing of iSCSI |
| Boot Firmware Table (iBFT) via sysfs to userspace. If you wish to |
| detect iSCSI boot parameters dynamically during system boot, say Y. |
| Otherwise, say N. |
