Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+ 486DLC/DLC2, UMC 486SX-S and NexGen Nx586. Only "386" kernels
+ will run on a 386 class machine.
+ - "486" for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 486DX/DX2/DX4 or
+ SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S.
+ - "586" for generic Pentium CPUs lacking the TSC
+ (time stamp counter) register.
+ - "Pentium-Classic" for the Intel Pentium.
+ - "Pentium-MMX" for the Intel Pentium MMX.
+ - "Pentium-Pro" for the Intel Pentium Pro.
+ - "Pentium-II" for the Intel Pentium II or pre-Coppermine Celeron.
+ - "Pentium-III" for the Intel Pentium III or Coppermine Celeron.
+ - "Pentium-4" for the Intel Pentium 4 or P4-based Celeron.
+ - "K6" for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D).
+ - "Athlon" for the AMD K7 family (Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird).
+ - "Crusoe" for the Transmeta Crusoe series.
+ - "Efficeon" for the Transmeta Efficeon series.
+ - "Winchip-C6" for original IDT Winchip.
+ - "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchip 2.

+ 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.

+

+ ---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.

+ 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
