  377. Execute-In-Place allows the kernel to run from non-volatile storage
  378. directly addressable by the CPU, such as NOR flash. This saves RAM
  379. space since the text section of the kernel is not loaded from flash
  380. to RAM. Read-write sections, such as the data section and stack,
  381. are still copied to RAM. The XIP kernel is not compressed since
  382. it has to run directly from flash, so it will take more space to
  383. store it. The flash address used to link the kernel object files,
  384. and for storing it, is configuration dependent. Therefore, if you

  497. APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
  498. techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
  499. APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
  500. reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
  501. battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
  502. notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
  503. If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
  504. BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
  505. Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
  506. machines with more than one CPU.
  507. In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
  508. and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
  509. Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
  510. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
  511. This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
  512. manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
  513. VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
  514. This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
  515. 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
  516. desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
  517. may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
  518. Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
  519. much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
  520. random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
  521. anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
  522. APM in your BIOS).
  523. Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
  524. "weird" problems:
  525. 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
  526. enabled.
  527. 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
  528. 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
  529. the "no387" option to the kernel
  530. 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
  531. 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
  532. all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
  533. 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
  534. 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
  535. 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
  536. 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
  537. 10) install a better fan for the CPU
  538. 11) exchange RAM chips
  539. 12) exchange the motherboard.
