  1137. say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
  1138. be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel

  1141. loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
  1142. boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you

  1152. On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
  1153. the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
  1154. processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
  1155. a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
  1156. allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
  1157. before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
  1158. of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
  1159. /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
  1160. MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
  1161. This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
  1162. control registers on other processors can be easily supported
  1163. as well:
  1164. The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
  1165. Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
  1166. these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
  1167. The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
  1168. MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
  1169. write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
  1170. and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
  1171. Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
  1172. set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
  1173. can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
  1174. You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll

  1296. If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
  1297. bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
  1298. run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
  1299. it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
  1300. address.
  1301. In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
  1302. as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
  1303. (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
  1304. address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
  1305. to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
  1306. vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
  1307. to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
  1308. (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
  1309. So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
  1310. leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
  1311. CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
  1312. for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
  1313. the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
  1314. the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
  1315. command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
  1316. kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
  1317. for more details about crash dumps.
  1318. Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
  1319. one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
  1320. as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
  1321. gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
  1322. is present because there are users out there who continue to use
  1323. vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

  1444. APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
  1445. techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
  1446. APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
  1447. reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
  1448. battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
  1449. notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
  1450. If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
  1451. BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
  1452. Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
  1453. machines with more than one CPU.
  1454. In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
  1455. and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
  1456. Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
  1457. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
  1458. This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
  1459. manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
  1460. VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
  1461. This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
  1462. 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
  1463. desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
  1464. may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
  1465. Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
  1466. much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
  1467. random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
  1468. anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
  1469. APM in your BIOS).
  1470. Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
  1471. "weird" problems:
  1472. 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
  1473. enabled.
  1474. 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
  1475. 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
  1476. the "no387" option to the kernel
  1477. 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
  1478. 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
  1479. all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
  1480. 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
  1481. 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
  1482. 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
  1483. 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
  1484. 10) install a better fan for the CPU
  1485. 11) exchange RAM chips
  1486. 12) exchange the motherboard.

  1488. module will be called apm.

  1502. State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
  1503. This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
  1504. feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
  1505. should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
  1506. will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
  1507. this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
  1508. support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
  1509. this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba

  1517. a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls
  1518. are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
  1519. 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

  1529. when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
  1530. do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
  1531. option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
