| 155 | ---help--- |
| 156 | This is the processor type of your CPU. This information is used for |
| 157 | optimizing purposes. In order to compile a kernel that can run on |
| 158 | all x86 CPU types (albeit not optimally fast), you can specify |
| 159 | "386" here. |
| 160 | |
| 161 | The kernel will not necessarily run on earlier architectures than |
| 162 | the one you have chosen, e.g. a Pentium optimized kernel will run on |
| 163 | a PPro, but not necessarily on a i486. |
| 164 | |
| 165 | Here are the settings recommended for greatest speed: |
| 166 | - "386" for the AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI |
| 167 | 486DLC/DLC2, UMC 486SX-S and NexGen Nx586. Only "386" kernels |
| 168 | will run on a 386 class machine. |
| 169 | - "486" for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 486DX/DX2/DX4 or |
| 170 | SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S. |
| 171 | - "586" for generic Pentium CPUs lacking the TSC |
| 172 | (time stamp counter) register. |
| 173 | - "Pentium-Classic" for the Intel Pentium. |
| 174 | - "Pentium-MMX" for the Intel Pentium MMX. |
| 175 | - "Pentium-Pro" for the Intel Pentium Pro. |
| 176 | - "Pentium-II" for the Intel Pentium II or pre-Coppermine Celeron. |
| 177 | - "Pentium-III" for the Intel Pentium III or Coppermine Celeron. |
| 178 | - "Pentium-4" for the Intel Pentium 4 or P4-based Celeron. |
| 179 | - "K6" for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D). |
| 180 | - "Athlon" for the AMD K7 family (Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird). |
| 181 | - "Crusoe" for the Transmeta Crusoe series. |
| 182 | - "Efficeon" for the Transmeta Efficeon series. |
| 183 | - "Winchip-C6" for original IDT Winchip. |
| 184 | - "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchip 2. |
| 185 | - "Winchip-2A" for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities. |

| 859 | before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance |
| 860 | of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a |

| 862 | MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. |

| 870 | these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs. |
| 871 | The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two |
| 872 | MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing |
| 873 | write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code |
| 874 | and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them. |
| 875 | |
| 876 | Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only |
| 877 | set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This |
| 878 | can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here. |
| 879 | |
| 880 | You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll |
| 881 | just add about 9 KB to your kernel. |

| 970 | APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different |
| 971 | techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with |
| 972 | APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be |
| 973 | reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide |
| 974 | battery status information, and user-space programs will receive |
| 975 | notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change). |
| 976 | |
| 977 | If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM |
| 978 | BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time. |
| 979 | |
| 980 | Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for |
| 981 | machines with more than one CPU. |
| 982 | |
| 983 | In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location |
| 984 | and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the |
| 985 | Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from |
| 986 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. |
| 987 | |
| 988 | This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8) |
| 989 | manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off |
| 990 | VESA-compliant "green" monitors. |
| 991 | |
| 992 | This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER |
| 993 | 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green" |
| 994 | desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver |
| 995 | may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase. |
| 996 | |
| 997 | Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't |
| 998 | much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get |
| 999 | random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to |
| 1000 | anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling |
| 1001 | APM in your BIOS). |
| 1002 | |
| 1003 | Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random, |
| 1004 | "weird" problems: |
| 1005 | |
| 1006 | 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is |
| 1007 | enabled. |
| 1008 | 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel |
| 1009 | 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass |
| 1010 | the "no387" option to the kernel |
| 1011 | 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel |
| 1012 | 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling |
| 1013 | all but the first 4 MB of RAM) |
| 1014 | 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked. |
| 1015 | 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/> |
| 1016 | 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings |
| 1017 | 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM |
| 1018 | 10) install a better fan for the CPU |
| 1019 | 11) exchange RAM chips |
| 1020 | 12) exchange the motherboard. |

| 1043 | should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features |
| 1044 | will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn |
| 1045 | this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM |
| 1046 | support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn |
| 1047 | this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba |
