275 | Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the | |
276 | kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure). | |
277 | The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem, | |

279 | Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the | |
280 | flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems | |
281 | have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is | |
282 | disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce" | |
283 | as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a | |
284 | problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce" | |

404 | Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems. | |
405 | However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4 | |
406 | Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of | |
407 | physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the | |
408 | kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called | |
409 | "high memory". | |

411 | If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with | |
412 | more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default | |
413 | choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB" | |
414 | split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory | |
415 | space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used | |
416 | by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as | |
417 | possible. | |
418 | ||
419 | If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then | |
420 | answer "4GB" here. | |
421 | ||
422 | If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This | |
423 | selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on. | |
424 | PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully | |
425 | supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel | |
426 | processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here, | |
427 | then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE! | |
428 | ||
429 | The actual amount of total physical memory will either be | |

534 | ---help--- | |
535 | Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point | |
536 | operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have | |
537 | a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added | |
538 | a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can | |
539 | give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a | |
540 | coprocessor or this emulation. | |
541 | ||
542 | If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you | |
543 | say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will | |
544 | be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel | |
545 | command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor | |
546 | is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot | |
547 | loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at | |
548 | boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you | |
549 | intend to use this kernel on different machines. | |
550 | ||
551 | More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor | |
552 | emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>. | |
553 | ||

557 | config MTRR | |
558 | bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support" | |
559 | ---help--- | |
560 | On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later) | |
561 | the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control | |
562 | processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have | |
563 | a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining | |
564 | allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer | |
565 | before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance | |
566 | of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a | |
567 | /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's | |
568 | MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. | |
569 | ||
570 | This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar | |
571 | control registers on other processors can be easily supported | |
572 | as well: | |
573 | ||
574 | The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range | |
575 | Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For | |
576 | these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs. | |
577 | The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two | |
578 | MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing | |
579 | write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code | |
580 | and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them. | |
581 | ||
582 | Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only | |
583 | set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This | |
584 | can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here. | |
585 | ||
586 | You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll | |
587 | just add about 9 KB to your kernel. | |

730 | ---help--- |
731 | APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different | |
732 | techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with | |
733 | APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be | |
734 | reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide | |
735 | battery status information, and user-space programs will receive | |
736 | notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change). | |
737 | ||
738 | If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM | |
739 | BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time. | |
740 | ||
741 | Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for | |
742 | machines with more than one CPU. | |
743 | ||
744 | In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location | |
745 | and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the | |
746 | Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from | |
747 | <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. | |
748 | ||
749 | This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8) | |
750 | manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off | |
751 | VESA-compliant "green" monitors. | |
752 | ||
753 | This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER | |
754 | 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green" | |
755 | desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver | |
756 | may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase. | |
757 | ||
758 | Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't | |
759 | much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get | |
760 | random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to | |
761 | anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling | |
762 | APM in your BIOS). | |
763 | ||
764 | Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random, | |
765 | "weird" problems: | |
766 | ||
767 | 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is | |
768 | enabled. | |
769 | 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel | |
770 | 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass | |
771 | the "no387" option to the kernel | |
772 | 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel | |
773 | 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling | |
774 | all but the first 4 MB of RAM) | |
775 | 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked. | |
776 | 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/> | |
777 | 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings | |
778 | 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM | |
779 | 10) install a better fan for the CPU | |
780 | 11) exchange RAM chips | |
781 | 12) exchange the motherboard. | |

953 | Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the | |
954 | name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff | |
955 | inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel | |
956 | (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI; | |
957 | newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N. | |

962 | ---help--- | |
963 | The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was | |
964 | developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus. | |
965 | ||
966 | The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel | |
967 | bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for | |
968 | the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and | |
969 | 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus. | |
970 | ||
971 | Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine. | |
972 | ||
973 | Otherwise, say N. | |
