600 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
601 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
602 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
603 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a

756 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
757 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
758 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
759 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
760 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
761 "high memory".
762
763 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
764 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
765 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
766 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
767 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
768 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
769 possible.
770
771 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
772 answer "4GB" here.
773
774 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
775 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
776 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully

778 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
779 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
780

995 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
996 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
997 coprocessor or this emulation.
998

1003 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1004 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at

1017 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1018 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1019 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1020 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1021 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1022 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1023 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1024 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1025 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1026
1027 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1028 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1029 as well:
1030
1031 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1032 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1033 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1034 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1035 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1036 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1037 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1038
1039 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1040 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1041 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1042
1043 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1044 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1135 but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
1136 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
1137
1138 The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
1139
1140 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
1141 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
1142 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
1143 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
1144 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

1151 Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.
1152 This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
1153 which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
1154 a specially reserved region and then later executed after
1155 a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
1156 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
1157 PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image
1158 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y).
1159 For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt

1167 This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
1168
1169 If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
1170 bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
1171 run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
1172 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1173 address.
1174
1175 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1176 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1177 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1178 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1179 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1180 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1181 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1182 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1183
1184 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1185 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1186 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1187 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1188 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1189 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1190 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1191 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1192 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1193
1194 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1195 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1196 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1197 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1198 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1199 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1200 line.

1299 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
1300 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
1301 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
1302 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
1303 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
1304 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
1305
1306 If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
1307 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
1308
1309 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
1310 machines with more than one CPU.
1311
1312 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
1313 and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
1314 Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
1315 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

1317 This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
1318 manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
1319 VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
1320
1321 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1322 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1323 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1324 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
1325
1326 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
1327 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1328 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1329 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1330 APM in your BIOS).
1331
1332 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
1333 "weird" problems:
1334
1335 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1336 enabled.
1337 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1338 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1339 the "no387" option to the kernel
1340 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1341 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1342 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1343 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1344 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1345 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1346 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1347 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1348 11) exchange RAM chips
1349 12) exchange the motherboard.
