LT
11 help
12 Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive
13 Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk
14 BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs.
15
16 This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some
17 obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do
18 not yet implement this feature.

24 help
25 Say Y if you want EDD disabled by default, even though it is compiled into the
26 kernel. Say N if you want EDD enabled by default. EDD can be dynamically set
27 using the kernel parameter 'edd={on|skipmbr|off}'.

32 help
33 Add the firmware-provided (unmodified) memory map to /sys/firmware/memmap.
34 That memory map is used for example by kexec to set up parameter area
35 for the next kernel, but can also be used for debugging purposes.

39config EFI_VARS

41 depends on EFI
42 default n
43 help
44 If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
45 Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read,
46 write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.
47
48 Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
49 at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
50 available from Matt Domsch's website located at:
51 <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>

77 default y if IA64
78 help
79 If your firmware supplies the PCDP table, and you want to
80 automatically use the primary console device it describes
81 as the Linux console, say Y here.
82
83 If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to
84 use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console,
85 say Y here. If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART
86 device, it will become the console automatically. Otherwise,
87 you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument.
88
89 Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices,
90 so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending
91 on how the driver discovers devices.
92
93 You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.)

113 The Dell Systems Management Base Driver provides a sysfs interface
114 for systems management software to perform System Management
115 Interrupts (SMIs) and Host Control Actions (system power cycle or
116 power off after OS shutdown) on certain Dell systems.

119 and the Dell systems on which Dell systems management software makes
120 use of this driver.

122 Say Y or M here to enable the driver for use by Dell systems
123 management software such as Dell OpenManage.
