525 properly with 32-bit PCI devices that do not support DAC
526 (Double Address Cycle). Calgary also supports bus level

637 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
638 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
639 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
640 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
641 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is

643 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a

796 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
797 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
798 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
799 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
800 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
801 "high memory".
802
803 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
804 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
805 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
806 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
807 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
808 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
809 possible.
810
811 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
812 answer "4GB" here.
813
814 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
815 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
816 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
817 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
818 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
819 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
820
821 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
822 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
823 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
824 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

1031 ---help---
1032 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1033 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1034 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1035 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1036 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1037 coprocessor or this emulation.
1038
1039 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1040 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1041 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1042 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1043 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1044 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1045 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1046 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1047
1048 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1049 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1054config MTRR
1055 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1056 ---help---
1057 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1058 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1059 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1060 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1061 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1062 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1063 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1064 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1065 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1066
1067 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1068 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1069 as well:
1070
1071 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1072 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1073 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1074 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1075 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1076 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1077 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1078
1079 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1080 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1081 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1082
1083 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1084 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1212 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1213 address.
1214
1215 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1216 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1217 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1218 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1219 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1220 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1221 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1222 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1223
1224 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1225 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1226 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1227 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1228 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1229 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1230 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1231 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1232 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1233
1234 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1235 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1236 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1237 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1238 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1239 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1358 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1359 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1360
1361 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1362 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1363 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1364 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1365
1366 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1367 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1368 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1369 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1370 APM in your BIOS).
1371

1373 "weird" problems:
1374
1375 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1376 enabled.
1377 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1378 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1379 the "no387" option to the kernel
1380 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1381 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1382 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1383 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1384 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1385 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1386 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM

1479 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
1480 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
1481 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.

1488 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1489 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1490 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1491 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1492 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1493
1494 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1495 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1496 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1497 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1498 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1499 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1500 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1600 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1601 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1602
1603 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1604 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1605 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1606 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
