  147. This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
  148. a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
  149. you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
  150. If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
  151. machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
  152. you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
  153. singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
  154. will run faster if you say N here.
  155. Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
  156. "Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
  157. architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
  158. architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
  159. People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
  160. Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
  161. Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

  633. Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
  634. However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
  635. Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
  636. physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
  637. kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
  638. "high memory".
  639. If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
  640. more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
  641. choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
  642. split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
  643. space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
  644. by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
  645. possible.
  646. If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then

  836. give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
  837. coprocessor or this emulation.
  838. If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
  839. say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
  840. be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel

  842. is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
  843. loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
  844. boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you

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

  1088. APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
  1089. techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
  1090. APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
  1091. reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
  1092. battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
  1093. notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
  1094. If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
  1095. BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
  1096. Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
  1097. machines with more than one CPU.
  1098. In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
  1099. and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
  1100. Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
  1101. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
  1102. This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
  1103. manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
  1104. VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
  1105. This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
  1106. 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
  1107. desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
  1108. may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
  1109. Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
  1110. much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
  1111. random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
  1112. anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
  1113. APM in your BIOS).
  1114. Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
  1115. "weird" problems:
  1116. 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
  1117. enabled.
  1118. 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
  1119. 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
  1120. the "no387" option to the kernel
  1121. 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
  1122. 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
  1123. all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
  1124. 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
  1125. 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
  1126. 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
  1127. 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
  1128. 10) install a better fan for the CPU
  1129. 11) exchange RAM chips
  1130. 12) exchange the motherboard.
