1da177e4 LT |
10 | depends on !IA64 |
11 | help | |
12 | Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive | |
13 | Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk | |
14 | BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs. | |
15 | ||
16 | This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some | |
17 | obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do | |
18 | not yet implement this feature. | |

22 | depends on EFI | |
23 | default n | |
24 | help | |
25 | If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware | |
26 | Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read, | |
27 | write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface. | |
28 | ||
29 | Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires | |
30 | at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is | |
31 | available from Matt Domsch's website located at: | |
32 | <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz> | |

38 | bool "Console device selection via EFI PCDP or HCDP table" | |
39 | depends on ACPI && EFI && IA64 | |
40 | default y if IA64 | |
41 | help | |
42 | If your firmware supplies the PCDP table, and you want to | |
43 | automatically use the primary console device it describes | |
44 | as the Linux console, say Y here. | |
45 | ||
46 | If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to | |
47 | use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console, | |
48 | say Y here. If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART | |
49 | device, it will become the console automatically. Otherwise, | |
50 | you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument. | |
51 | ||
52 | Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices, | |
53 | so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending | |
54 | on how the driver discovers devices. | |
55 | ||
56 | You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.) | |

74 | help |
75 | The Dell Systems Management Base Driver provides a sysfs interface | |
76 | for systems management software to perform System Management | |
77 | Interrupts (SMIs) and Host Control Actions (system power cycle or | |
78 | power off after OS shutdown) on certain Dell systems. | |
79 | ||
80 | See <file:Documentation/dcdbas.txt> for more details on the driver | |
81 | and the Dell systems on which Dell systems management software makes | |
82 | use of this driver. | |
83 | ||
84 | Say Y or M here to enable the driver for use by Dell systems | |
85 | management software such as Dell OpenManage. | |
