  1126. say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
  1127. be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
  1128. command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor

  1130. loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
  1131. boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you

  1141. On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
  1142. the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
  1143. processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
  1144. a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
  1145. allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
  1146. before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
  1147. of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
  1148. /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
  1149. MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
  1150. This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
  1151. control registers on other processors can be easily supported
  1152. as well:
  1153. The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
  1154. Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
  1155. these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
  1156. The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
  1157. MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
  1158. write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
  1159. and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
  1160. Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
  1161. set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
  1162. can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
  1163. You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
  1164. just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

  1287. run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
  1288. it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
  1289. address.
  1290. In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
  1291. as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
  1292. (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
  1293. address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
  1294. to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
  1295. vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
  1296. to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
  1297. (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
  1298. So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
  1299. leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
  1300. CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
  1301. for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
  1302. the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
  1303. the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
  1304. command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
  1305. kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
  1306. for more details about crash dumps.
  1307. Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
  1308. one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
  1309. as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
  1310. gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
  1311. is present because there are users out there who continue to use
  1312. vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the

  1430. APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
  1431. techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
  1432. APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
  1433. reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
  1434. battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
  1435. notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
  1436. If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
  1437. BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
  1438. Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
  1439. machines with more than one CPU.
  1440. In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
  1441. and more information, read <file:Documentation/power/pm.txt> and the
  1442. Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
  1443. <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
  1444. This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
  1445. manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
  1446. VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
  1447. This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
  1448. 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
  1449. desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
  1450. may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
  1451. Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
  1452. much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
  1453. random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
  1454. anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
  1455. APM in your BIOS).
  1456. Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
  1457. "weird" problems:
  1458. 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
  1459. enabled.
  1460. 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
  1461. 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
  1462. the "no387" option to the kernel
  1463. 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
  1464. 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
  1465. all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
  1466. 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
  1467. 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
  1468. 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
  1469. 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
  1470. 10) install a better fan for the CPU
  1471. 11) exchange RAM chips
  1472. 12) exchange the motherboard.

  1474. module will be called apm.

  1488. State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls."
  1489. This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this
  1490. feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This
  1491. should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features
  1492. will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn
  1493. this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM
  1494. support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn
  1495. this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba
  1496. T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without
  1497. this feature.

  1504. are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g.,
  1505. 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or

  1515. when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to
  1516. do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this
  1517. option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your
