597 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the

599 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
600 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
601 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
602 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
603 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
604 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
605 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
606 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
607 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like

758 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
759 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
760 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
761 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
762 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
763 "high memory".
764
765 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
766 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
767 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
768 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
769 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
770 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
771 possible.
772
773 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
774 answer "4GB" here.
775
776 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
777 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
778 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
779 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
780 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
781 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
782
783 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
784 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
785 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
786 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

1007config MTRR
1008 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1009 ---help---
1010 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1011 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1012 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1013 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1014 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1015 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1016 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1017 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1018 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1019
1020 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1021 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1022 as well:
1023
1024 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1025 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1026 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1027 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1028 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1029 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1030 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1031
1032 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1033 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1034 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1035
1036 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1037 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1147 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1148 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1149 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1150 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1163 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1164 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1165 address.
1166
1167 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1168 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1169 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1170 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1171 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1172 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1173 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1174 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1175
1176 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1177 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1178 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1179 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1180 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1181 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1182 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1183 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1184 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1185
1186 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1187 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1188 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1189 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1190 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1191 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1192 line.

1310 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1311 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1312
1313 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1314 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1315 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1316 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1317
1318 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1319 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1320 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1321 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1322 APM in your BIOS).
1323
1324 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1325 "weird" problems:
1326
1327 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1328 enabled.
1329 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1330 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1331 the "no387" option to the kernel
1332 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1333 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1334 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1335 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1336 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1337 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1338 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM

1340 11) exchange RAM chips

1504 Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address
1505 for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config
1506 option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for
1507 all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue
1508 to use physical addresses for DMA.

1533 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1534 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1535 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1536 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1537 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

1543 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1544 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1545
1546 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1547 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1548 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1549 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1550
1551 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1572 This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
