Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070010 depends on !IA64
11 help
12 Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive
13 Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk
14 BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs.
15
16 This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some
17 obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do
18 not yet implement this feature.

24 help
25 Say Y if you want EDD disabled by default, even though it is compiled into the
26 kernel. Say N if you want EDD enabled by default. EDD can be dynamically set
27 using the kernel parameter 'edd={on|skipmbr|off}'.

31 depends on EFI
32 default n
33 help
34 If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
35 Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read,
36 write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.
37
38 Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
39 at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
40 available from Matt Domsch's website located at:
41 <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>

47 bool "Console device selection via EFI PCDP or HCDP table"
48 depends on ACPI && EFI && IA64
49 default y if IA64
50 help
51 If your firmware supplies the PCDP table, and you want to
52 automatically use the primary console device it describes
53 as the Linux console, say Y here.
54
55 If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to
56 use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console,
57 say Y here. If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART
58 device, it will become the console automatically. Otherwise,
59 you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument.
60
61 Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices,
62 so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending
63 on how the driver discovers devices.
64
65 You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.)

84 The Dell Systems Management Base Driver provides a sysfs interface
85 for systems management software to perform System Management
86 Interrupts (SMIs) and Host Control Actions (system power cycle or
87 power off after OS shutdown) on certain Dell systems.

89 See <file:Documentation/dcdbas.txt> for more details on the driver
90 and the Dell systems on which Dell systems management software makes
91 use of this driver.

93 Say Y or M here to enable the driver for use by Dell systems
94 management software such as Dell OpenManage.
