Lots of people use this. Apparently RH has for over 18 months so lets drop EXPERIMENTAL. Signed-off-by: Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org> Cc: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

help
|
|
Say Y or M here if you want to enable BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive
|
|
Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk
|
|
BIOS tries boot from. This information is then exported via sysfs.
|
|
|
|
This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some
|
|
obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do
|
|
not yet implement this feature.

|
|
If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
|
|
Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read,
|
|
write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.
|
|
|
|
Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
|
|
at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
|
|
available from Matt Domsch's website located at:
|
|
<http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>

default y if IA64
|
|
help
|
|
If your firmware supplies the PCDP table, and you want to
|
|
automatically use the primary console device it describes
|
|
as the Linux console, say Y here.
|
|
|
|
If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to
|
|
use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console,
|
|
say Y here. If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART
|
|
device, it will become the console automatically. Otherwise,
|
|
you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument.
|
|
|
|
Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices,
|
|
so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending
|
|
on how the driver discovers devices.
|
|
|
|
You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.)

The Dell Systems Management Base Driver provides a sysfs interface

for systems management software to perform System Management

Interrupts (SMIs) and Host Control Actions (system power cycle or
|
|
power off after OS shutdown) on certain Dell systems.
|

See <file:Documentation/dcdbas.txt> for more details on the driver
|
|
and the Dell systems on which Dell systems management software makes
|
|
use of this driver.
|

|
Say Y or M here to enable the driver for use by Dell systems
|
|
management software such as Dell OpenManage.
