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

803 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
804 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
805 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
806 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
807 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
808 "high memory".
809
810 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
811 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
812 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
813 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
814 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
815 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
816 possible.
817
818 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
819 answer "4GB" here.
820
821 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
822 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
823 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
824 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
825 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
826 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
827
828 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
829 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
830 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
831 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

1038 ---help---
1039 Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
1040 operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
1041 a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
1042 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
1043 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1044 coprocessor or this emulation.
1045
1046 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1047 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1048 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1049 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1050 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1051 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1052 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1053 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1054
1055 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1056 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

1061config MTRR
1062 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1063 ---help---
1064 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1065 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1066 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1067 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1068 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1069 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1070 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1071 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1072 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1073
1074 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1075 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1076 as well:
1077
1078 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1079 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1080 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1081 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1082 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1083 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1084 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1085
1086 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1087 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1088 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1089
1090 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1091 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1245 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1246 address.
1247
1248 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1249 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1250 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1251 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1252 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1253 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1254 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1255 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1256
1257 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1258 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1259 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1260 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1261 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1262 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1263 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1264 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1265 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1266
1267 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1268 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1269 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1270 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1271 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1272 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

1393
1394 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1395 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"

1401 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

1403 APM in your BIOS).

1406 "weird" problems:
1407
1408 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1409 enabled.
1410 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1411 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1412 the "no387" option to the kernel
1413 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1414 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1415 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1416 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1417 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1418 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1419 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
1420 10) install a better fan for the CPU
1421 11) exchange RAM chips

1479 help
1480 Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to
1481 the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving
1482 BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
1483 needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
1484 many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
1485 suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

1521 On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
1522 determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
1523 have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
1524 PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
1525 detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
1526
1527 With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
1528 PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
1529 if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
1530 choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
1531 If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
1532 direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
1533 work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".
