This is the processor type of your CPU. This information is used for
|
|
|
|
optimizing purposes. In order to compile a kernel that can run on
|
|
|
|
all x86 CPU types (albeit not optimally fast), you can specify
|
|
|
|
"386" here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The kernel will not necessarily run on earlier architectures than
|
|
|
|
the one you have chosen, e.g. a Pentium optimized kernel will run on
|
|
|
|
a PPro, but not necessarily on a i486.

|
|
|
|
486DLC/DLC2, UMC 486SX-S and NexGen Nx586. Only "386" kernels
|
|
|
|
will run on a 386 class machine.
|
|
|
|
- "486" for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 486DX/DX2/DX4 or
|
|
|
|
SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S.
|
|
|
|
- "586" for generic Pentium CPUs lacking the TSC
|
|
|
|
(time stamp counter) register.
|
|
|
|
- "Pentium-Classic" for the Intel Pentium.
|
|
|
|
- "Pentium-MMX" for the Intel Pentium MMX.
|
|
|
|
- "Pentium-Pro" for the Intel Pentium Pro.
|
|
|
|
- "Pentium-II" for the Intel Pentium II or pre-Coppermine Celeron.
|
|
|
|
- "Pentium-III" for the Intel Pentium III or Coppermine Celeron.
|
|
|
|
- "Pentium-4" for the Intel Pentium 4 or P4-based Celeron.
|
|
|
|
- "K6" for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D).
|
|
|
|
- "Athlon" for the AMD K7 family (Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird).
|
|
|
|
- "Crusoe" for the Transmeta Crusoe series.
|
|
|
|
- "Efficeon" for the Transmeta Efficeon series.
|
|
|
|
- "Winchip-C6" for original IDT Winchip.
|
|
|
|
- "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchip 2.
|
|
|
|
- "Winchip-2A" for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities.
|
2005-05-05 19:16:17 -04:00
|
|
|
- "GeodeGX1" for Geode GX1 (Cyrix MediaGX).
|
2005-04-16 18:20:36 -04:00
|
|
|
- "CyrixIII/VIA C3" for VIA Cyrix III or VIA C3.
|

|
- "VIA C3-2 for VIA C3-2 "Nehemiah" (model 9 and above).

Machine Check Exception support allows the processor to notify the

Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the
|
|
|
|
flags in /proc/cpuinfo for mce. Note that some older Pentium systems
|
|
|

have a design flaw which leads to false MCE events - hence MCE is

disabled on all P5 processors, unless explicitly enabled with "mce"

|
|

|
problem on some new non-standard machine, you can boot with "nomce"

to disable it. MCE support simply ignores non-MCE processors like

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

If unsure, say "off".

config MATH_EMULATION

bool "Math emulation"
|
|

---help---
|
|
|
|
Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
|
|
|
|
operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
|
|
|
|
a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
|
|
|
|
a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
|
|
|
|
give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
|
|
|
|
coprocessor or this emulation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
|
|
|
|
say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
|
|
|
|
be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
|
|
|
|
command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
|
|
|
|
is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
|
|
|
|
loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
|
|
|
|
boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
|
|
|
|
intend to use this kernel on different machines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
|
|
|
|
emulation can be found in <file:arch/i386/math-emu/README>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
|
|
|
|
kernel, it won't hurt.

config MTRR
|

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

APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
|
|
|
|
techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
|
|
|
|
APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
|
|
|
|
reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
|
|
|
|
battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
|
|
|
|
notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
|
|
|
|
BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
|
|
|
|
machines with more than one CPU.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location
|
|
|
|
and more information, read <file:Documentation/pm.txt> and the

This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
|

manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
|
|
|
|
VESA-compliant "green" monitors.

|
|
|
|
|
|
This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
|
|
|
|
486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
|
|

desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
|
|
|
|
may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
|
|
|
|
much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
|
|
|
|
random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

anything, try disabling/enabling this option (or disabling/enabling

APM in your BIOS).

Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
|
|

"weird" problems:

|
|

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

Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving

BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it
|
|

needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in
|

many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you
|

suspend, try setting this to Y. Otherwise, say N.

On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
|
|
|
|
determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
|
|
|
|
have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
|
|
|
|
PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to
|
|
|
|
detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the
|
|
|
|
PCI devices. If you choose "BIOS", the BIOS will be used,
|
|
|
|
if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you
|
|
|
|
choose "MMConfig", then PCI Express MMCONFIG will be used.
|
|
|
|
If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
|
|
|
|
direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
|
|
|
|
work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
