52 This is the system type of your hardware. A "generic" kernel will
53 run on any supported Alpha system. However, if you configure a
54 kernel for your specific system, it will be faster and smaller.
56 To find out what type of Alpha system you have, you may want to
57 check out the Linux/Alpha FAQ, accessible on the WWW from

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

458 There are two different types of booting firmware on Alphas: SRM,
459 which is command line driven, and ARC, which uses menus and arrow
460 keys. Details about the Linux/Alpha booting process are contained in
461 the Linux/Alpha FAQ, accessible on the WWW from
462 <http://www.alphalinux.org/>.
464 The usual way to load Linux on an Alpha machine is to use MILO
465 (a bootloader that lets you pass command line parameters to the
466 kernel just like lilo does for the x86 architecture) which can be
467 loaded either from ARC or can be installed directly as a permanent
468 firmware replacement from floppy (which requires changing a certain
469 jumper on the motherboard). If you want to do either of these, say N
470 here. If MILO doesn't work on your system (true for Jensen
471 motherboards), you can bypass it altogether and boot Linux directly
472 from an SRM console; say Y here in order to do that. Note that you
473 won't be able to boot from an IDE disk using SRM.

484 depends on ALPHA_SABLE || ALPHA_LYNX || ALPHA_RAWHIDE || ALPHA_DP264 || ALPHA_WILDFIRE || ALPHA_TITAN || ALPHA_GENERIC || ALPHA_SHARK || ALPHA_MARVEL
486 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
487 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
488 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
490 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
491 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
492 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
493 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
494 will run faster if you say N here.
496 See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt>, and the SMP-HOWTO
497 available at <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

516 Say Y to upport efficient handling of discontiguous physical memory,
517 for architectures which are either NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access)
518 or have huge holes in the physical address space for other reasons.
519 See <file:Documentation/vm/numa> for more.
524 bool "NUMA Support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
525 depends on DISCONTIGMEM && BROKEN
527 Say Y to compile the kernel to support NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory
528 Access). This option is for configuring high-end multiprocessor
529 server machines. If in doubt, say N.
531 # LARGE_VMALLOC is racy, if you *really* need it then fix it first
532 config ALPHA_LARGE_VMALLOC
535 Process creation and other aspects of virtual memory management can
536 be streamlined if we restrict the kernel to one PGD for all vmalloc
537 allocations. This equates to about 8GB.
539 Under normal circumstances, this is so far and above what is needed
540 as to be laughable. However, there are certain applications (such
541 as benchmark-grade in-kernel web serving) that can make use of as
542 much vmalloc space as is available.
544 Say N unless you know you need gobs and gobs of vmalloc space.

547 bool "Verbose Machine Checks"
549 config VERBOSE_MCHECK_ON
550 int "Verbose Printing Mode (0=off, 1=on, 2=all)"
551 depends on VERBOSE_MCHECK
554 This option allows the default printing mode to be set, and then
555 possibly overridden by a boot command argument.
557 For example, if one wanted the option of printing verbose
558 machine checks, but wanted the default to be as if verbose
559 machine check printing was turned off, then one would choose
560 the printing mode to be 0. Then, upon reboot, one could add
561 the boot command line "verbose_mcheck=1" to get the normal
562 verbose machine check printing, or "verbose_mcheck=2" to get
563 the maximum information available.
565 Take the default (1) unless you want more control or more info.

573 tristate "SRM environment through procfs"
576 If you enable this option, a subdirectory inside /proc called
577 /proc/srm_environment will give you access to the all important
578 SRM environment variables (those which have a name) and also
579 to all others (by their internal number).
581 SRM is something like a BIOS for Alpha machines. There are some
582 other such BIOSes, like AlphaBIOS, which this driver cannot
583 support (hey, that's not SRM!).
585 Despite the fact that this driver doesn't work on all Alphas (but
586 only on those which have SRM as their firmware), it's save to
587 build it even if your particular machine doesn't know about SRM
588 (or if you intend to compile a generic kernel). It will simply
589 not create those subdirectory in /proc (and give you some warning,
