- help
- Specify the amount of low memory to reserve for the BIOS.
-
- The first page contains BIOS data structures that the kernel
- must not use, so that page must always be reserved.
-
- By default we reserve the first 64K of physical RAM, as a
- number of BIOSes are known to corrupt that memory range
- during events such as suspend/resume or monitor cable
- insertion, so it must not be used by the kernel.
-
- You can set this to 4 if you are absolutely sure that you
- trust the BIOS to get all its memory reservations and usages
- right. If you know your BIOS have problems beyond the
- default 64K area, you can set this to 640 to avoid using the
- entire low memory range.
-
- If you have doubts about the BIOS (e.g. suspend/resume does
- not work or there's kernel crashes after certain hardware
- hotplug events) then you might want to enable
- X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y to allow the kernel to check
- typical corruption patterns.
-
- Leave this to the default value of 64 if you are unsure.
