307 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,

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

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

1155 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
1156 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
1157 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
1158 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
1159 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
1160 "high memory".
1161
1162 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
1163 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
1164 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
1165 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
1166 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
1167 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
1168 possible.
1169
1170 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
1171 answer "4GB" here.
1172
1173 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
1174 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
1175 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
1176 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
1177 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
1178 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
1179
1180 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
1181 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
1182 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
1183 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
1184 kernel at boot time.)
1185

1211 If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
1212 physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
1213 as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
1214 than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
1215 Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
1216 available to user programs, making the address space there
1217 tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split
1218 will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only

1448 number of BIOSes are known to corrupt that memory range
1449 during events such as suspend/resume or monitor cable
1450 insertion, so it must not be used by the kernel.
1451
1452 You can set this to 4 if you are absolutely sure that you
1453 trust the BIOS to get all its memory reservations and usages
1454 right. If you know your BIOS have problems beyond the
1455 default 64K area, you can set this to 640 to avoid using the
1456 entire low memory range.
1457

1459 not work or there's kernel crashes after certain hardware
1460 hotplug events) then you might want to enable
1461 X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y to allow the kernel to check

1472 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1473 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1474 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1475 coprocessor or this emulation.
1476
1477 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1478 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1479 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1480 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1481 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1482 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1483 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1484 intend to use this kernel on different machines.

1495 ---help---
1496 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1497 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1498 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1499 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1500 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1501 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1502 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1503 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1504 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1505
1506 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1507 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1508 as well:
1509
1510 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1511 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1512 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1513 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1514 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1515 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1516 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1517
1518 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1519 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1520 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1521
1522 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1523 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1714 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1715 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using

1731 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1732
1733 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1734 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1735 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1736 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1737 address.
1738
1739 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1740 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1741 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1742 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1743 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1744 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1745 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1746 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1747
1748 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
1749 leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
1750 CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
1751 for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
1752 the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
1753 the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
1754 command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
1755 kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
1756 for more details about crash dumps.
1757
1758 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1759 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1760 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1761 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1762 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1763 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1764 line.

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

1801 and aligned according to PHYSICAL_ALIGN. Since the kernel is
1802 built using 2GiB addressing, and PHYSICAL_ALGIN must be at a
1803 minimum of 2MiB, only 10 bits of entropy is theoretically
1804 possible. At best, due to page table layouts, 64-bit can use

2031 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
2032 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
2033 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
2034 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
2035 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
2036 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
2037
2038 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
2039 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
2040
2041 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
2042 machines with more than one CPU.
2043
2044 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
2045 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/apm-acpi.txt>
2046 and the Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
2047 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

2049 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
2050 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
2051 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
2052
2053 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
2054 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
2055 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
2056 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
2057
2058 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
2059 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
2060 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
2061 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
2062 APM in your BIOS).
2063
2064 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
2065 "weird" problems:
2066
2067 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
2068 enabled.
2069 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
2070 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
2071 the "no387" option to the kernel
2072 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
2073 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
2074 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
2075 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
2076 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
2077 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
2078 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
2079 10) install a better fan for the CPU
2080 11) exchange RAM chips
2081 12) exchange the motherboard.

2182 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you

2184 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
2185 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't

2420 help
2421 Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
2422 bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
2423 user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
2424 Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
2425 to x86.
2426 This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
2427 framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
2428 used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
2429 modes, it is adverticed as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
2430 drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
2431 If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
2432 marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
2433
2434 Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
2435 not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
2436 is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
2437 replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
2438 with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
2439 and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
2440 incompatible with simplefb.
