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

  877. a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added

  879. give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
  880. coprocessor or this emulation.
  881. If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
  882. say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
  883. be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
  884. command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
  885. is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
  886. loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
  887. boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
  888. intend to use this kernel on different machines.
  889. More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
  890. emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.

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

  1055. This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
  1056. If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
  1057. bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
  1058. run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
  1059. it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
  1060. address.
  1061. In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
  1062. as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
  1063. (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
  1064. address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
  1065. to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
  1066. vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
  1067. to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
  1068. (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
  1069. So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
  1070. the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
  1071. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
  1072. change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
  1073. 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
  1074. specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
  1075. passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
  1076. crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
  1077. Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
  1078. Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
  1079. one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
  1080. as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
  1081. gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
  1082. is present because there are users out there who continue to use
  1083. vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
  1084. line.

  1163. APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
  1164. techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
  1165. APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
  1166. reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
  1167. battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
  1168. notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
  1169. If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
  1170. BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
  1171. Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
  1172. machines with more than one CPU.
  1173. In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
  1174. and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
  1175. Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
  1176. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
  1177. This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
  1178. manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
  1179. VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
  1180. This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
  1181. 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
  1182. desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
  1183. may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
  1184. Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
  1185. much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
  1186. random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
  1187. anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
  1188. APM in your BIOS).
  1189. Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
  1190. "weird" problems:
  1191. 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
  1192. enabled.
  1193. 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
  1194. 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
  1195. the "no387" option to the kernel
  1196. 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
  1197. 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
  1198. all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
  1199. 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
  1200. 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
  1201. 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
  1202. 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
  1203. 10) install a better fan for the CPU
  1204. 11) exchange RAM chips
