  10. help
  11. Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive
  12. Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk
  13. BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs.
  14. This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some
  15. obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do
  16. not yet implement this feature.
  17. config EFI_VARS
  18. tristate "EFI Variable Support via sysfs"
  19. depends on EFI
  20. default n
  21. help
  22. If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
  23. Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read,
  24. write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.
  25. Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
  26. at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
  27. available from Matt Domsch's website located at:
  28. <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>
  29. Subsequent efibootmgr releases may be found at:

  32. bool "Console device selection via EFI PCDP or HCDP table"
  33. depends on ACPI && EFI && IA64
  34. default y if IA64
  35. help
  36. If your firmware supplies the PCDP table, and you want to
  37. automatically use the primary console device it describes
  38. as the Linux console, say Y here.
  39. If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to
  40. use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console,
  41. say Y here. If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART
  42. device, it will become the console automatically. Otherwise,
  43. you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument.
  44. Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices,
  45. so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending
  46. on how the driver discovers devices.
  47. You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.)
