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

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

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.
546
547 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
548 emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.

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.

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

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

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

789 Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop.
790 On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as
791 a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
792 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
793 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or
794 whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU,

805 when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
806 do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
