522 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the

680 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
681 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
682 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
683 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
684 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
685 "high memory".
686
687 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
688 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
689 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
690 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
691 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
692 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
693 possible.
694
695 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
696 answer "4GB" here.
697
698 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
699 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
700 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
701 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
702 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
703 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
704
705 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
706 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
707 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
708 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

903 bool
904 prompt "Math emulation" if X86_32
905 ---help---
906 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
907 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
908 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
909 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
910 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
911 coprocessor or this emulation.
912
913 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
914 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
915 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
916 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
917 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
918 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
919 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
920 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
921
922 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
923 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
924

928config MTRR
929 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
930 ---help---
931 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
932 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
933 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
934 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
935 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
936 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
937 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
938 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
939 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
940
941 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
942 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
943 as well:
944
945 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
946 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
947 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
948 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
949 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
950 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
951 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
952
953 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
954 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
955 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
956
957 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
958 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1078 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1079 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1080 address.
1081
1082 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1083 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1084 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1085 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1086 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1087 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1088 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1089 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1090
1091 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1092 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1093 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1094 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1095 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1096 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1097 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1098 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1099 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1100
1101 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1102 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1103 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1104 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1105 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1106 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1107 line.

1203 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1204 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1205 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1206 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1207
1208 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1209 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1210
1211 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1212 machines with more than one CPU.
1213
1214 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1215 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
1216 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1217 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

1220 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1221 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1222
1223 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1224 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1225 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1226 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.

1229 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1230 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1231 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1232 APM in your BIOS).
1233
1234 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1235 "weird" problems:
1236
1237 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1238 enabled.
1239 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1240 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1241 the "no387" option to the kernel
1242 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1243 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1244 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1245 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1246 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1247 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1248 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1249 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1250 11) exchange RAM chips

1309 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1310 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1311 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1312 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1313 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1314 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

1319 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1320 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1321 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1340 Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI is the name of a
1341 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
1342 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
1343 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.

1345 The PCI-HOWTO, available from
1346 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
1347 information about which PCI hardware does work under Linux and which
1348 doesn't.

1354 ---help---
1355 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1356 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1357 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1358 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1359 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1360
1361 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1362 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1363 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1364 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1365 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1366 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1367 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".
