627 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the

629 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is

784 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
785 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
786 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
787 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
788 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
789 "high memory".
790
791 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
792 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
793 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
794 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
795 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
796 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
797 possible.
798
799 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
800 answer "4GB" here.
801
802 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
803 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
804 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
805 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
806 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
807 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
808
809 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
810 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
811 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
812 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

1019 ---help---
1020 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1021 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1022 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1023 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1024 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1025 coprocessor or this emulation.
1026
1027 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1028 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1029 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1030 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1031 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1032 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1033 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1034 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1035
1036 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1037 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1042config MTRR
1043 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1044 ---help---
1045 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1046 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1047 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1048 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1049 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1050 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1051 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1052 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1053 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1054
1055 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1056 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1057 as well:
1058
1059 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1060 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1061 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1062 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1063 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1064 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1065 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1066
1067 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1068 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1069 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1070
1071 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1072 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1200 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1201 address.
1202
1203 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1204 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1205 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1206 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1207 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1208 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1209 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1210 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1211
1212 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1213 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1214 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1215 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1216 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1217 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1218 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1219 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1220 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1221
1222 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1223 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1224 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1225 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1226 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1227 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1346 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1347 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1348
1349 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1350 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1351 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1352 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1353
1354 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1355 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1356 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1357 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1358 APM in your BIOS).
1359
1360 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1361 "weird" problems:
1362
1363 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1364 enabled.
1365 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1366 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1367 the "no387" option to the kernel
1368 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1369 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1370 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1371 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1372 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1373 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1374 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM

1476 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1477 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1478 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1479 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1480 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1481
1482 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1483 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1484 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1485 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1486 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1487 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1488 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1582 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1583 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1584 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1585 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
