  653. Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of

  656. "high memory".

  658. more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
  659. choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
  660. split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
  661. space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used

  663. possible.

  855. coprocessor or this emulation.
  856. If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
  857. say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
  858. be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel

  860. is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
  861. loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at

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

  1021. Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
  1022. one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
  1023. as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
  1024. gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
  1025. is present because there are users out there who continue to use

  1106. APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
  1107. techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
  1108. APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
  1109. reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
  1110. battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
  1111. notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
  1112. If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
  1113. BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
  1114. Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
  1115. machines with more than one CPU.
  1116. In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
  1117. and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
  1118. Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
  1119. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
  1120. This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
  1121. manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
  1122. VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
  1123. This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
  1124. 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
  1125. desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
  1126. may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
  1127. Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
  1128. much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
  1129. random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
  1130. anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
  1131. APM in your BIOS).
  1132. Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
  1133. "weird" problems:
  1134. 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
  1135. enabled.
  1136. 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
  1137. 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
  1138. the "no387" option to the kernel
  1139. 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
  1140. 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
  1141. all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
  1142. 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
  1143. 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
  1144. 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
  1145. 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
  1146. 10) install a better fan for the CPU
  1147. 11) exchange RAM chips
  1148. 12) exchange the motherboard.
