158 all x86 CPU types (albeit not optimally fast), you can specify
159 "386" here.

170 SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S.
171 - "586" for generic Pentium CPUs lacking the TSC
172 (time stamp counter) register.
173 - "Pentium-Classic" for the Intel Pentium.
174 - "Pentium-MMX" for the Intel Pentium MMX.
175 - "Pentium-Pro" for the Intel Pentium Pro.
176 - "Pentium-II" for the Intel Pentium II or pre-Coppermine Celeron.
177 - "Pentium-III" for the Intel Pentium III or Coppermine Celeron.
178 - "Pentium-4" for the Intel Pentium 4 or P4-based Celeron.
179 - "K6" for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D).

588 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the

590 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
591 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
592 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
593 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
594 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
595 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
596 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
597 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
598 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like

717 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
718 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
719 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
720 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
721 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
722 "high memory".
723
724 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
725 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
726 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
727 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
728 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
729 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
730 possible.
731
732 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
733 answer "4GB" here.
734
735 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
736 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
737 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
738 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
739 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
740 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
741
742 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
743 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
744 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of

819 ---help---
820 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
821 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
822 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
823 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
824 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
825 coprocessor or this emulation.
826
827 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
828 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
829 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
830 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
831 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
832 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
833 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
834 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
835
836 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
837 emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.

843 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
844 ---help---
845 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
846 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
847 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
848 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
849 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
850 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
851 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
852 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
853 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
854
855 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
856 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
857 as well:
858
859 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
860 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
861 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
862 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
863 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
864 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
865 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
866
867 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
868 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
869 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
870
871 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
872 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

961 APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
962 techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
963 APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
964 reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
965 battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
966 notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
967

969 BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
970
971 Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
972 machines with more than one CPU.
973
974 In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
975 and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the

982
983 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
984 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
985 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
986 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
987
988 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't

990 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
991 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
992 APM in your BIOS).
993
994 Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
995 "weird" problems:
996
997 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
998 enabled.
999 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1000 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1001 the "no387" option to the kernel
1002 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1003 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1004 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1005 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1006 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1007 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1008 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1009 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1010 11) exchange RAM chips

1113 Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI is the name of a
1114 bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside
1115 your box. Other bus systems are ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or
1116 VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N.
1117
1118 The PCI-HOWTO, available from
1119 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
1120 information about which PCI hardware does work under Linux and which
1121 doesn't.

1127 ---help---
1128 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1129 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1130 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1131 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1132 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1133
1134 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1135 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1136 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1137 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1138 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1139 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1140 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

1184 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1185 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1186 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1187 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1188 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

1194 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1195 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1196
1197 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1198 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1199 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1200 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1201
1202 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.

1212 MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and

1223 This provides basic support for the National Semiconductor SCx200
1224 processor. Right now this is just a driver for the GPIO pins.

1227
1228 This support is also available as a module. If compiled as a
1229 module, it will be called scx200.
