619 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the

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

780 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
781 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
782 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
783 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
784 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
785 "high memory".
786
787 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
788 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
789 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
790 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
791 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
792 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
793 possible.
794
795 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
796 answer "4GB" here.
797
798 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
799 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
800 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully

802 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
803 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
804

1018 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1019 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1020 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1021 coprocessor or this emulation.

1023 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1024 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1025 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1026 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1027 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1028 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at

1040 ---help---
1041 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1042 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1043 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1044 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1045 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1046 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1047 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1048 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1049 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1050
1051 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1052 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1053 as well:
1054
1055 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1056 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1057 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1058 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1059 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1060 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1061 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1062
1063 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1064 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1065 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1066
1067 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1068 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1156 help
1157 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
1158 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
1159 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1160 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1161
1162 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1163
1164 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1165 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1166 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1167 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1168 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

1177 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1178 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1179 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1180 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1181 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1182 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).

1191 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1192
1193 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1194 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1195 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1196 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1197 address.
1198
1199 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1200 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1201 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1202 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1203 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1204 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1205 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1206 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1207
1208 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1209 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1210 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1211 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1212 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1213 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1214 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1215 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1216 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1217
1218 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1219 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1220 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1221 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1222 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1223 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1224 line.

1323 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1324 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1325 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1326 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1327 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1328 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1329
1330 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1331 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1332
1333 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1334 machines with more than one CPU.
1335
1336 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1337 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1338 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1339 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

1341 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1342 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1343 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1344
1345 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1346 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1347 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1348 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1349
1350 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1351 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1352 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1353 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1354 APM in your BIOS).
1355
1356 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1357 "weird" problems:
1358
1359 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1360 enabled.
1361 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1362 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1363 the "no387" option to the kernel
1364 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1365 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1366 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1367 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1368 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1369 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1370 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1371 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1372 11) exchange RAM chips
1373 12) exchange the motherboard.
