Linux uses the PNPBIOS as defined in "Plug and Play BIOS |
|
Specification Version 1.0A May 5, 1994" to autodetect built-in |
|
mainboard resources (e.g. parallel port resources). |
|
|
|
Some features (e.g. event notification, docking station information, |
|
ISAPNP services) are not currently implemented. |
|
|
|
If you would like the kernel to detect and allocate resources to |
|
your mainboard devices (on some systems they are disabled by the |
|
BIOS) say Y here. Also the PNPBIOS can help prevent resource |
|
conflicts between mainboard devices and other bus devices. |
|
|
|
Note: ACPI is expected to supersede PNPBIOS some day, currently it |
|
co-exists nicely. If you have a non-ISA system that supports ACPI, |
|
you probably don't need PNPBIOS support. |

config PNPBIOS_PROC_FS |

bool "Plug and Play BIOS /proc interface" |
|
depends on PNPBIOS && PROC_FS |
|
help |
|
If you say Y here and to "/proc file system support", you will be |
|
able to directly access the PNPBIOS. This includes resource |
|
allocation, ESCD, and other PNPBIOS services. Using this |
|
interface is potentially dangerous because the PNPBIOS driver will |
|
not be notified of any resource changes made by writing directly. |
|
Also some buggy systems will fault when accessing certain features |
|
in the PNPBIOS /proc interface (e.g. "boot" configs). |
|
|
|
See the latest pcmcia-cs (stand-alone package) for a nice set of |
|
PNPBIOS /proc interface tools (lspnp and setpnp). |
|
|
|
Unless you are debugging or have other specific reasons, it is |
|
recommended that you say N here. |
