  688. split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
  689. space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used

  890. a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
  891. a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
  892. give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
  893. coprocessor or this emulation.
  894. If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
  895. say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
  896. be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
  897. command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
  898. is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
  899. loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
  900. boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
  901. intend to use this kernel on different machines.
  902. More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
  903. emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

  909. On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
  910. the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
  911. processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
  912. a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
  913. allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
  914. before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
  915. of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
  916. /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
  917. MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
  918. This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
  919. control registers on other processors can be easily supported
  920. as well:
  921. The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
  922. Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
  923. these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
  924. The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
  925. MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
  926. write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
  927. and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
  928. Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
  929. set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
  930. can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
  931. You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll

  1034. kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
  1035. current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
  1036. but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
  1037. you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
  1038. The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
  1039. It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
  1040. is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
  1041. initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
  1042. support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
  1043. strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

  1052. a crash by kdump/kexec. The crash dump kernel must be compiled
  1053. to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using
  1054. PHYSICAL_START, or it must be built as a relocatable image

  1063. This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
  1064. If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
  1065. bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
  1066. run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
  1067. it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
  1068. address.
  1069. In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
  1070. as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
  1071. (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
  1072. address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
  1073. to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
  1074. vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
  1075. to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
  1076. (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
  1077. So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
  1078. the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
  1079. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
  1080. change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
  1081. 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
  1082. specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
  1083. passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
  1084. crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
  1085. Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
  1086. Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
  1087. one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
  1088. as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
  1089. gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
  1090. is present because there are users out there who continue to use
  1091. vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
  1092. line.

  1171. APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
  1172. techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
  1173. APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
  1174. reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
  1175. battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
  1176. notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
  1177. If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
  1178. BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
  1179. Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
  1180. machines with more than one CPU.
  1181. In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
  1182. and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
  1183. Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
  1184. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

  1186. manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
  1187. VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
  1188. This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
  1189. 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
  1190. desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
  1191. may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
  1192. Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
  1193. much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
  1194. random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
  1195. anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
  1196. APM in your BIOS).
  1197. Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
  1198. "weird" problems:
  1199. 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
  1200. enabled.
  1201. 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
  1202. 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
  1203. the "no387" option to the kernel
  1204. 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
  1205. 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
  1206. all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
  1207. 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
  1208. 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
  1209. 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
  1210. 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
  1211. 10) install a better fan for the CPU
  1212. 11) exchange RAM chips
