  642. Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of

  644. kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
  645. "high memory".
  646. If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
  647. more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
  648. choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
  649. split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
  650. space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used

  652. possible.

  845. If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you

  847. be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel

  850. loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at

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

  1095. APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
  1096. techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
  1097. APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
  1098. reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
  1099. battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
  1100. notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
  1101. If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
  1102. BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
  1103. Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
  1104. machines with more than one CPU.
  1105. In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
  1106. and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
  1107. Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
  1108. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
  1109. This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
  1110. manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
  1111. VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
  1112. This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
  1113. 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
  1114. desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
  1115. may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
  1116. Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
  1117. much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
  1118. random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
  1119. anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
  1120. APM in your BIOS).
  1121. Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
  1122. "weird" problems:
  1123. 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
  1124. enabled.
  1125. 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
  1126. 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
  1127. the "no387" option to the kernel
  1128. 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
  1129. 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
  1130. all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
  1131. 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
  1132. 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
  1133. 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
  1134. 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
  1135. 10) install a better fan for the CPU
  1136. 11) exchange RAM chips
  1137. 12) exchange the motherboard.
