3 | bool "Support for PReP Residual Data" | |
4 | depends on PPC_PREP | |
5 | help | |
6 | Some PReP systems have residual data passed to the kernel by the | |
7 | firmware. This allows detection of memory size, devices present and | |
8 | other useful pieces of information. Sometimes this information is | |
9 | not present or incorrect, in which case it could lead to the machine | |
10 | behaving incorrectly. If this happens, either disable PREP_RESIDUAL | |
11 | or pass the 'noresidual' option to the kernel. | |

13 | If you are running a PReP system, say Y here, otherwise say N. | |

15 | config PROC_PREPRESIDUAL | |
16 | bool "Support for reading of PReP Residual Data in /proc" | |
17 | depends on PREP_RESIDUAL && PROC_FS | |
18 | help | |
19 | Enabling this option will create a /proc/residual file which allows | |
20 | you to get at the residual data on PReP systems. You will need a tool | |
21 | (lsresidual) to parse it. If you aren't on a PReP system, you don't | |
22 | want this. |
