630 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
631 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
632 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
633 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
634 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is

636 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
637 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"

789 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
790 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
791 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
792 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
793 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
794 "high memory".
795
796 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
797 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
798 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
799 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
800 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
801 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
802 possible.
803
804 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
805 answer "4GB" here.
806
807 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
808 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
809 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
810 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
811 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
812 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
813
814 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
815 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
816 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
817 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

1024 ---help---
1025 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1026 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1027 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1028 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1029 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1030 coprocessor or this emulation.
1031
1032 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1033 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1034 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1035 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1036 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1037 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1038 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1039 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1040
1041 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1042 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1045 kernel, it won't hurt.

1047config MTRR
1048 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1049 ---help---
1050 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1051 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1052 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1053 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1054 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1055 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1056 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1057 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1058 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1059
1060 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1061 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1062 as well:
1063
1064 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1065 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1066 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1067 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1068 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1069 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1070 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1071
1072 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1073 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1074 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1075
1076 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1077 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1205 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1206 address.
1207
1208 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1209 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1210 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1211 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1212 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1213 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1214 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1215 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1216
1217 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1218 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1219 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1220 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1221 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1222 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1223 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1224 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1225 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1226
1227 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1228 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1229 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1230 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1231 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1232 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1351 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1352 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1353
1354 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1355 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1356 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1357 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1358
1359 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1360 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1361 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1362 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1363 APM in your BIOS).
1364
1365 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1366 "weird" problems:
1367
1368 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1369 enabled.
1370 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1371 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1372 the "no387" option to the kernel
1373 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1374 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1375 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1376 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1377 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1378 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1379 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM

1472 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
1473 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
1474 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.

1481 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1482 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1483 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1484 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1485 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1486
1487 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1488 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1489 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1490 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1491 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1492 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1493 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".
