306 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
307 uniprocessor machines. On a uniprocessor machine, the kernel
308 will run faster if you say N here.
309
310 Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
311 "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
312 architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
313 architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.

908 boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
909 the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
910 IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
911 kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
912 way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
913 the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring

1153 ---help---
1154 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1155 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1156 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1157 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1158 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1159 "high memory".
1160
1161 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1162 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1163 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1164 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1165 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1166 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1167 possible.
1168
1169 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1170 answer "4GB" here.
1171
1172 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1173 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1174 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
1175 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
1176 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1177 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1178
1179 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
1180 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
1181 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
1182 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
1183 kernel at boot time.)

1213 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1214 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1215 available to user programs, making the address space there
1216 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split

1447 number of BIOSes are known to corrupt that memory range
1448 during events such as suspend/resume or monitor cable
1449 insertion, so it must not be used by the kernel.

1452 trust the BIOS to get all its memory reservations and usages
1453 right. If you know your BIOS have problems beyond the
1454 default 64K area, you can set this to 640 to avoid using the
1455 entire low memory range.

1458 not work or there's kernel crashes after certain hardware
1459 hotplug events) then you might want to enable

1471 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1472 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can

1476 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1477 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1478 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1479 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1480 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1481 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1482 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you

1495 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1496 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1497 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1498 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1499 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1500 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1501 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1502 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1503 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1504
1505 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1506 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1507 as well:
1508
1509 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1510 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1511 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1512 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1513 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1514 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1515 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1516
1517 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1518 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1519 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1520
1521 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1522 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1713 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1714 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1715 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1716 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1730 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1731
1732 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1733 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1734 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1735 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1736 address.
1737
1738 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1739 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1740 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1741 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1742 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1743 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1744 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1745 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1746
1747 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1748 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1749 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1750 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1751 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1752 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1753 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1754 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1755 for more details about crash dumps.
1756
1757 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1758 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1759 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1760 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1761 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1762 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1763 line.

1774 but are discarded at runtime.
1775
1776 One use is for the kexec on panic case where the recovery kernel
1777 must live at a different physical address than the primary
1778 kernel.
1779

1799 The kernel will be offset by up to RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET,
1800 and aligned according to PHYSICAL_ALIGN. Since the kernel is
1801 built using 2GiB addressing, and PHYSICAL_ALGIN must be at a
1802 minimum of 2MiB, only 10 bits of entropy is theoretically
1803 possible. At best, due to page table layouts, 64-bit can use

2030 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
2031 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
2032 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
2033 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
2034 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
2035 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
2036
2037 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
2038 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
2039
2040 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
2041 machines with more than one CPU.
2042
2043 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
2044 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.txt>
2045 and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
2046 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

2048 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
2049 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
2050 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
2051
2052 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2053 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2054 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2055 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2056
2057 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2058 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
2059 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
2060 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
2061 APM in your BIOS).
2062
2063 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
2064 "weird" problems:
2065
2066 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
2067 enabled.
2068 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
2069 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
2070 the "no387" option to the kernel
2071 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
2072 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
2073 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
2074 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
2075 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
2076 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
2077 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
2078 10) install a better fan for the CPU
2079 11) exchange RAM chips
2080 12) exchange the motherboard.

2419 help
2420 Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
2421 bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
2422 user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
2423 Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
2424 to x86.
2425 This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
2426 framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
2427 used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
2428 modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
2429 drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
2430 If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
2431 marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
2432
2433 Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
2434 not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
2435 is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
2436 replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
2437 with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
2438 and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
2439 incompatible with simplefb.
