221 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
222 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
223 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

833 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
834 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4

841 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
842 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
843 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
844 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
845 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
846 possible.

849 answer "4GB" here.
850
851 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This

1080 ---help---
1081 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1082 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1083 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1084 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1085 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1086 coprocessor or this emulation.
1087
1088 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1089 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1090 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1091 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1092 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1093 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1094 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1095 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1096
1097 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1098 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1103config MTRR
1104 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1105 ---help---
1106 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1107 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1108 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1109 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1110 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1111 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1112 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1113 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1114 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1115
1116 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1117 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1118 as well:
1119
1120 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1121 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1122 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1123 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1124 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1125 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1126 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1127
1128 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1129 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1130 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1131
1132 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1133 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1293 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1294 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1295 address.
1296
1297 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1298 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1299 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1300 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1301 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1302 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1303 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1304 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1305
1306 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1307 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1308 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1309 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1310 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1311 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1312 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1313 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1314 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1315
1316 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1317 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1318 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1319 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1320 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1321 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1322 line.

1451 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1452 APM in your BIOS).
1453
1454 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1455 "weird" problems:
1456
1457 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1458 enabled.
1459 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1460 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1461 the "no387" option to the kernel
1462 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1463 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1464 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1465 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1466 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1467 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1468 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1469 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1470 11) exchange RAM chips
1471 12) exchange the motherboard.

1480 help
1481 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a

1487 ---help---
1488 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
1489 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
1490 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
1491 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
1492 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
1493 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
1494 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
1495 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
1496 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
1497 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
1498 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
1499 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
1500 this feature.

1505 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
1506 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
1507 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
1508 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
1509 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
1510 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
1511 this option does nothing.)

1517 turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux
1518 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
1519 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
1520 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
1521 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
1522 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
1523 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
1524 especially if you are using gpm.

1528 help
1529 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1530 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1531 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1532 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1533 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1534 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

1569 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1570 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1571 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1572 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1573 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.

1575 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the

1577 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you

1579 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
