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

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

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

  1069. it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
  1070. address.
  1071. In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
  1072. as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
  1073. (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
  1074. address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
  1075. to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
  1076. vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
  1077. to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
  1078. (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
  1079. So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
  1080. the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
  1081. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
  1082. change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
  1083. 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
  1084. specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
  1085. passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
  1086. crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
  1087. Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
  1088. Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
  1089. one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
  1090. as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
  1091. gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
  1092. is present because there are users out there who continue to use
  1093. vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

  1173. APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
  1174. techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
  1175. APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
  1176. reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
  1177. battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
  1178. notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
  1179. If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
  1180. BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
  1181. Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
  1182. machines with more than one CPU.
  1183. In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
  1184. and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
  1185. Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
  1186. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

  1188. manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off

  1190. This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
  1191. 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
  1192. desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
  1193. may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
  1194. Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
  1195. much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
  1196. random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
  1197. anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
  1198. APM in your BIOS).
  1199. Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
  1200. "weird" problems:
  1201. 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
  1202. enabled.
  1203. 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
  1204. 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
  1205. the "no387" option to the kernel
  1206. 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
  1207. 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
  1208. all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
  1209. 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
  1210. 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
  1211. 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
  1212. 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
  1213. 10) install a better fan for the CPU
  1214. 11) exchange RAM chips
