270 ---help---
271 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the
272 kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure).
273 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
274 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
275 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
276 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
277 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
278 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
279 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
280 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
281 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like
282 the 386 and 486, so nearly everyone can say Y here.

400 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
401 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
402 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
403 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
404 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
405 "high memory".
406
407 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
408 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
409 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
410 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
411 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
412 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
413 possible.
414
415 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
416 answer "4GB" here.
417
418 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
419 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
420 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
421 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
422 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
423 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
424
425 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
426 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
427 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
428 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

533 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
534 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
535 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
536 coprocessor or this emulation.
537
538 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
539 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
540 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
541 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
542 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
543 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
544 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
545 intend to use this kernel on different machines.

547 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
548 emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.

558 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
559 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
560 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
561 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
562 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
563 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
564 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
565
566 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
567 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
568 as well:
569
570 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
571 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
572 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
573 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
574 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
575 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
576 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
577
578 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
579 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
580 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
581
582 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
583 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

597 This option is only useful on systems that have EFI firmware
598 and will result in a kernel image that is ~8k larger. In addition,
599 you must use the latest ELILO loader available at

700 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
701 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
702 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
703 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
704 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
705 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
706
707 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
708 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
709
710 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
711 machines with more than one CPU.
712
713 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
714 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
715 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
716 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
717
718 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
719 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
720 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
721
722 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
723 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
724 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
725 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
726
727 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
728 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
729 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
730 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
731 APM in your BIOS).
732
733 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
734 "weird" problems:
735
736 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
737 enabled.
738 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
739 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
740 the "no387" option to the kernel
741 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
742 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
743 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
744 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
745 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
746 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
747 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
748 10) install a better fan for the CPU
749 11) exchange RAM chips
750 12) exchange the motherboard.

753 module will be called apm.

759 This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a

763config APM_DO_ENABLE
764 bool "Enable PM at boot time"
765 depends on APM
766 ---help---
767 Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS
768 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically
769 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend
770 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
771 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
772 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
773 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
774 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
775 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
776 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
777 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
778 T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
779 this feature.

785 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
786 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
787 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
788 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
789 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
790 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,
791 this option does nothing.)

799 virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by
800 the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight
801 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
802 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
803 option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
804 backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console,
