79 run on any supported Alpha system. However, if you configure a
80 kernel for your specific system, it will be faster and smaller.

497 There are two different types of booting firmware on Alphas: SRM,
498 which is command line driven, and ARC, which uses menus and arrow
499 keys. Details about the Linux/Alpha booting process are contained in
500 the Linux/Alpha FAQ, accessible on the WWW from
501 <http://www.alphalinux.org/>.
503 The usual way to load Linux on an Alpha machine is to use MILO
504 (a bootloader that lets you pass command line parameters to the
505 kernel just like lilo does for the x86 architecture) which can be
506 loaded either from ARC or can be installed directly as a permanent
507 firmware replacement from floppy (which requires changing a certain
508 jumper on the motherboard). If you want to do either of these, say N
509 here. If MILO doesn't work on your system (true for Jensen
510 motherboards), you can bypass it altogether and boot Linux directly
511 from an SRM console; say Y here in order to do that. Note that you
512 won't be able to boot from an IDE disk using SRM.

528 This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
529 a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
530 you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
532 If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
533 machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
534 you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
535 singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
536 will run faster if you say N here.
538 See also the <file:Documentation/smp.txt>, and the SMP-HOWTO
539 available at <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

560 or have huge holes in the physical address space for other reasons.
561 See <file:Documentation/vm/numa> for more.
566 bool "NUMA Support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
567 depends on DISCONTIGMEM && BROKEN
569 Say Y to compile the kernel to support NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory
570 Access). This option is for configuring high-end multiprocessor

582 Process creation and other aspects of virtual memory management can
583 be streamlined if we restrict the kernel to one PGD for all vmalloc
584 allocations. This equates to about 8GB.
586 Under normal circumstances, this is so far and above what is needed
587 as to be laughable. However, there are certain applications (such
588 as benchmark-grade in-kernel web serving) that can make use of as
589 much vmalloc space as is available.

597 int "Verbose Printing Mode (0=off, 1=on, 2=all)"
598 depends on VERBOSE_MCHECK
601 This option allows the default printing mode to be set, and then
602 possibly overridden by a boot command argument.
604 For example, if one wanted the option of printing verbose
605 machine checks, but wanted the default to be as if verbose
606 machine check printing was turned off, then one would choose
607 the printing mode to be 0. Then, upon reboot, one could add
608 the boot command line "verbose_mcheck=1" to get the normal
609 verbose machine check printing, or "verbose_mcheck=2" to get
610 the maximum information available.
612 Take the default (1) unless you want more control or more info.

620 tristate "SRM environment through procfs"
623 If you enable this option, a subdirectory inside /proc called
624 /proc/srm_environment will give you access to the all important
625 SRM environment variables (those which have a name) and also
626 to all others (by their internal number).
628 SRM is something like a BIOS for Alpha machines. There are some
629 other such BIOSes, like AlphaBIOS, which this driver cannot
630 support (hey, that's not SRM!).
632 Despite the fact that this driver doesn't work on all Alphas (but
633 only on those which have SRM as their firmware), it's save to
634 build it even if your particular machine doesn't know about SRM
635 (or if you intend to compile a generic kernel). It will simply
636 not create those subdirectory in /proc (and give you some warning,
