  219. Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the
  220. kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, component failure).
  221. The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
  222. ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
  223. Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
  224. flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
  225. have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
  226. disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
  227. as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
  228. problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
  229. to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like

  436. If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
  437. say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
  438. be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel

  440. is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
  441. loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
  442. boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
  443. intend to use this kernel on different machines.
  444. More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
  445. emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.

  451. On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
  452. the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
  453. processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
  454. a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
  455. allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
  456. before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
  457. of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
  458. /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
  459. MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
  460. This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
  461. control registers on other processors can be easily supported
  462. as well:
  463. The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
  464. Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
  465. these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
  466. The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
  467. MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
  468. write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
  469. and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
  470. Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
  471. set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
  472. can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
  473. You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll

  573. APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different

  575. APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
  576. reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide

  579. If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
  580. BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
  581. Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
  582. machines with more than one CPU.
  583. In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
  584. and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the
  585. Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from

  591. 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
  592. desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver

  758. Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
  759. name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
  760. inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
  761. (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
  762. newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

  767. The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
  768. developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
  769. The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
  770. bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
  771. the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
  772. 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
  773. Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
  774. Otherwise, say N.

  780. MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
  781. laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
  782. <file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
  783. there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

  789. This provides basic support for the National Semiconductor SCx200
  790. processor. Right now this is just a driver for the GPIO pins.
