Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org> reported:
In 2.6.23, if you unpacked a kernel source tarball and then
ran "make menuconfig" you'd be presented with this message:
# using defaults found in arch/i386/defconfig
and the default options would be set.
The same thing in 2.6.24 does not give you any "using defaults" message, and
the default config options within menuconfig are rather blank (e.g. no PCI
support). You can work around this by explicitly running "make defconfig"
before menuconfig, but it would be nice to have the behaviour the way it was
for 2.6.23 (and the way it still is for other archs).
Fixed by adding a x86 specific defconfig list to Kconfig.

Your processor must be a Pentium or newer to support this - check the

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

Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
|
|
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

---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/x86/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.

This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.

If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then

bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and

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

Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

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/power/pm.txt> and the
|
|
Battery Powered Linux mini-HOWTO, available from
|
|

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.

|
|
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".

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

The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was

|
developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
|
|
|
|
The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel
|
|
bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
|
|
the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
|
|
1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
|
|
|
|
Say Y here if you are building a kernel for an EISA-based machine.
|

Otherwise, say N.
