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

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

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

925config MTRR
926 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
927 ---help---
928 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
929 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
930 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
931 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
932 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
933 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
934 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
935 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
936 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
937
938 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
939 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
940 as well:
941
942 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
943 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
944 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
945 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
946 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
947 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
948 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
949
950 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
951 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
952 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
953
954 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
955 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1076 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1077 address.
1078
1079 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1080 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1081 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1082 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1083 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1084 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1085 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1086 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1087
1088 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1089 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1090 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1091 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1092 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1093 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1094 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1095 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1096 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1097
1098 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1099 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1100 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1101 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1102 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1103 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1104 line.

1200 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1201 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1202 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1203 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1204
1205 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1206 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1207
1208 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1209 machines with more than one CPU.
1210
1211 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1212 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
1213 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1214 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

1216 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1217 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1218 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1219
1220 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1221 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1222 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1223 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1224
1225 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1226 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1227 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1228 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1229 APM in your BIOS).
1230
1231 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1232 "weird" problems:
1233
1234 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1235 enabled.
1236 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1237 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1238 the "no387" option to the kernel
1239 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1240 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1241 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1242 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1243 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1244 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1245 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1246 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1247 11) exchange RAM chips

1316 Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is
1317 a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if
1318 your computer crashes instead of powering off properly.

1337 Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI is the name of a
1338 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
1339 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
1340 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.
1341
1342 The PCI-HOWTO, available from
1343 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
1344 information about which PCI hardware does work under Linux and which
1345 doesn't.

1351 ---help---
1352 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1353 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1354 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1355 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1356 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1357
1358 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1359 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1360 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1361 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1362 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1363 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1364 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1458 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
