624 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the

626 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is

781 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
782 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
783 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
784 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
785 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
786 "high memory".
787
788 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
789 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
790 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
791 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
792 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
793 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
794 possible.
795
796 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
797 answer "4GB" here.
798
799 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
800 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
801 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
802 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
803 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
804 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
805
806 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
807 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
808 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
809 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

1016 ---help---
1017 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1018 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1019 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1020 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1021 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1022 coprocessor or this emulation.
1023
1024 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1025 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1026 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1027 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1028 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1029 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1030 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1031 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1032
1033 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1034 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1039config MTRR
1040 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1041 ---help---
1042 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1043 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1044 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1045 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1046 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1047 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1048 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1049 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1050 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1051
1052 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1053 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1054 as well:
1055
1056 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1057 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1058 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1059 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1060 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1061 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1062 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1063
1064 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1065 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1066 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1067
1068 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1069 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1197 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1198 address.
1199
1200 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1201 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1202 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1203 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1204 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1205 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1206 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1207 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1208
1209 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1210 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1211 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1212 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1213 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1214 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1215 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1216 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1217 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1218
1219 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1220 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1221 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1222 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1223 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1224 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1343 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1344 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1345
1346 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1347 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1348 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1349 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1350
1351 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1352 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1353 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1354 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1355 APM in your BIOS).
1356
1357 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1358 "weird" problems:
1359
1360 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1361 enabled.
1362 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1363 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1364 the "no387" option to the kernel
1365 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1366 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1367 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1368 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1369 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1370 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1371 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM

1472 ---help---
1473 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1474 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1475 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1476 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1477 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1478
1479 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1480 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1481 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1482 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1483 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1484 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1485 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1566 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1567 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1568 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1569 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1570 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

1576 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1577 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1578
1579 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1580 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1581 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1582 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1583
1584 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
