| 14 | If you say Y here then read-write lock processing will count how many |
| 15 | times it has tried to get the lock and issue an error message after |
| 16 | too many attempts. If you suspect a rwlock problem or a kernel |
| 17 | hacker asks for this option then say Y. Otherwise say N. |

| 24 | The 2.4 kernel changed the kernel start address from 0x310000 |
| 25 | to 0x810000 to make room for the Wildfire's larger SRM console. |
| 26 | Recent consoles on Titan and Marvel machines also require the |
| 27 | extra room. |

| 29 | If you're using aboot 0.7 or later, the bootloader will examine the |
| 30 | ELF headers to determine where to transfer control. Unfortunately, |
| 31 | most older bootloaders -- APB or MILO -- hardcoded the kernel start |
| 32 | address rather than examining the ELF headers, and the result is a |
| 33 | hard lockup. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Say Y if you have a broken bootloader. Say N if you do not, or if |
| 36 | you wish to run on Wildfire, Titan, or Marvel. |

| 47 | This option is required for IEEE compliant floating point arithmetic |
| 48 | on the Alpha. The only time you would ever not say Y is to say M in |
| 49 | order to debug the code. Say Y unless you know what you are doing. |
