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 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 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. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called apm. if APM config APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND bool "Ignore USER SUSPEND" help This option will ignore USER SUSPEND requests. On machines with a compliant APM BIOS, you want to say N. However, on the NEC Versa M series notebooks, it is necessary to say Y because of a BIOS bug. config APM_DO_ENABLE bool "Enable PM at boot time" ---help--- Enable APM features at boot time. From page 36 of the APM BIOS specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls." This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba T400CDT. This is off by default since most machines do fine without this feature. config APM_CPU_IDLE bool "Make CPU Idle calls when idle" help Enable calls to APM CPU Idle/CPU Busy inside the kernel's idle loop. On some machines, this can activate improved power savings, such as a slowed CPU clock rate, when the machine is idle. These idle calls are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g., 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or whenever the CPU becomes idle. (On machines with more than one CPU, this option does nothing.) config APM_DISPLAY_BLANK bool "Enable console blanking using APM" help Enable console blanking using the APM. Some laptops can use this to turn off the LCD backlight when the screen blanker of the Linux virtual console blanks the screen. Note that this is only used by the virtual console screen blanker, and won't turn off the backlight when using the X Window system. This also doesn't have anything to do with your VESA-compliant power-saving monitor. Further, this option doesn't work for all laptops -- it might not turn off your backlight at all, or it might print a lot of errors to the console, especially if you are using gpm. config APM_ALLOW_INTS bool "Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls" help 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. config APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF bool "Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off" help Use real mode APM BIOS calls to switch off the computer. This is a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if your computer crashes instead of powering off properly. endif # APM source "arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/Kconfig" source "drivers/cpuidle/Kconfig" endmenu menu "Bus options (PCI etc.)" config PCI bool "PCI support" if !X86_VISWS depends on !X86_VOYAGER default y if X86_VISWS select ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI if (X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_IO_APIC) help Find out whether you have a PCI motherboard. PCI 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 ISA, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or VESA. If you have PCI, say Y, otherwise N. The PCI-HOWTO, available from , contains valuable information about which PCI hardware does work under Linux and which doesn't. choice prompt "PCI access mode" depends on X86_32 && PCI && !X86_VISWS default PCI_GOANY ---help--- 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". config PCI_GOBIOS bool "BIOS" config PCI_GOMMCONFIG bool "MMConfig" config PCI_GODIRECT bool "Direct" config PCI_GOANY bool "Any" endchoice config PCI_BIOS bool depends on X86_32 && !X86_VISWS && PCI && (PCI_GOBIOS || PCI_GOANY) default y # x86-64 doesn't support PCI BIOS access from long mode so always go direct. config PCI_DIRECT bool depends on PCI && (X86_64 || (PCI_GODIRECT || PCI_GOANY) || X86_VISWS) default y config PCI_MMCONFIG bool depends on X86_32 && PCI && ACPI && (PCI_GOMMCONFIG || PCI_GOANY) default y config PCI_DOMAINS bool depends on PCI default y config PCI_MMCONFIG bool "Support mmconfig PCI config space access" depends on X86_64 && PCI && ACPI config DMAR bool "Support for DMA Remapping Devices (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on X86_64 && PCI_MSI && ACPI && EXPERIMENTAL help DMA remapping (DMAR) devices support enables independent address translations for Direct Memory Access (DMA) from devices. These DMA remapping devices are reported via ACPI tables and include PCI device scope covered by these DMA remapping devices. config DMAR_GFX_WA bool "Support for Graphics workaround" depends on DMAR default y help Current Graphics drivers tend to use physical address for DMA and avoid using DMA APIs. Setting this config option permits the IOMMU driver to set a unity map for all the OS-visible memory. Hence the driver can continue to use physical addresses for DMA. config DMAR_FLOPPY_WA bool depends on DMAR default y help Floppy disk drivers are know to bypass DMA API calls thereby failing to work when IOMMU is enabled.

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. config EISA bool "EISA support" depends on ISA ---help--- 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. source "drivers/eisa/Kconfig" config MCA bool "MCA support" if !(X86_VISWS || X86_VOYAGER) default y if X86_VOYAGER help MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See (and especially the web page given there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel. source "drivers/mca/Kconfig" config SCx200 tristate "NatSemi SCx200 support" depends on !X86_VOYAGER help This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's (now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency for other scx200_* drivers. If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200. config SCx200HR_TIMER tristate "NatSemi SCx200 27MHz High-Resolution Timer Support" depends on SCx200 && GENERIC_TIME default y help This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip 27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The other workaround is idle=poll boot option. config GEODE_MFGPT_TIMER bool "Geode Multi-Function General Purpose Timer (MFGPT) events" depends on MGEODE_LX && GENERIC_TIME && GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS default y help This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT timer(s) in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode. MFGPTs have a better resolution and max interval than the generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers. endif # X86_32 config K8_NB def_bool y depends on AGP_AMD64 || (X86_64 && (GART_IOMMU || (PCI && NUMA))) source "drivers/pcmcia/Kconfig" source "drivers/pci/hotplug/Kconfig" endmenu menu "Executable file formats / Emulations" source "fs/Kconfig.binfmt" config IA32_EMULATION bool "IA32 Emulation" depends on X86_64 help Include code to run 32-bit programs under a 64-bit kernel.
