598 Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the

600 The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
601 ranging from a warning message on the console, to halting the machine.
602 Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
603 flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
604 have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is
605 disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"
606 as a boot argument. Similarly, if MCE is built in and creates a
607 problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"
608 to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like

759 Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
760 However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
761 Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
762 physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
763 kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
764 "high memory".
765
766 If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
767 more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
768 choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
769 split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
770 space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
771 by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
772 possible.
773
774 If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
775 answer "4GB" here.
776
777 If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
778 selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
779 PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
780 supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
781 processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
782 then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
783
784 The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
785 auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
786 such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
787 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the

998 a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
999 give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
1000 coprocessor or this emulation.
1001
1002 If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
1003 say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
1004 be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
1005 command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
1006 is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
1007 loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
1008 boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
1009 intend to use this kernel on different machines.
1010
1011 More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
1012 emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
1013
1014 If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
1015 kernel, it won't hurt.

1017config MTRR
1018 bool "MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
1019 ---help---
1020 On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
1021 the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
1022 processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
1023 a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
1024 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
1025 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
1026 of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
1027 /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
1028 MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
1029
1030 This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
1031 control registers on other processors can be easily supported
1032 as well:
1033
1034 The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
1035 Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
1036 these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
1037 The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
1038 MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
1039 write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
1040 and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
1041
1042 Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
1043 set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
1044 can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
1045
1046 You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
1047 just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

1159 to a memory address not used by the main kernel or BIOS using

1175 it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
1176 address.
1177
1178 In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
1179 as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
1180 (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
1181 address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
1182 to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
1183 vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
1184 to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
1185 (normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
1186
1187 So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump, leave
1188 the value here unchanged to 0x100000 and set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.
1189 Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux for capturing the crash dump
1190 change this value to start of the reserved region (Typically 16MB
1191 0x1000000). In other words, it can be set based on the "X" value as
1192 specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM" command line boot parameter
1193 passed to the panic-ed kernel. Typically this parameter is set as
1194 crashkernel=64M@16M. Please take a look at
1195 Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for more details about crash dumps.
1196
1197 Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
1198 one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
1199 as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
1200 gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
1201 is present because there are users out there who continue to use
1202 vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
1203 line.

1323
1324 This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
1325 486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
1326 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
1327 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.

1330 much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
1331 random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to
1332 anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling
1333 APM in your BIOS).

1336 "weird" problems:

1338 1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
1339 enabled.
1340 2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
1341 3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
1342 the "no387" option to the kernel
1343 4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
1344 5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
1345 all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
1346 6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
1347 7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
1348 8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
1349 9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM

1544 Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the
1545 name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff
1546 inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel
1547 (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI;
1548 newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.

1554 The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
1555 developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
1556
1557 The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
1558 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
1559 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1560 1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
1561
1562 Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
