| 9 | Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial |
| 10 | port. |

| 12 | This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very |
| 13 | early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation |
| 14 | it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate |
| 15 | with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here, |
| 16 | unless you want to debug such a crash. |

| 20 | help |
| 21 | If you say Y here the kernel will use a 16Kb stacksize for the |
| 22 | kernel stack attached to each process/thread. The default is 8K. |
| 23 | This increases the resident kernel footprint and will cause less |
| 24 | threads to run on the system and also increase the pressure |
| 25 | on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. |
