Bus options (PCI, PCMCIA, EISA, GSC, ISA)

 * Option: GSC
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "VSC/GSC/HSC bus support"
 * default y
 * The VSC, GSC and HSC busses were used from the earliest 700-series workstations up to and including the C360/J2240 workstations. They were also used in servers from the E-class to the K-class.  They are not found in B1000, C3000, J5000, A500, L1000, N4000 and upwards. If in doubt, say "Y".


 * Option: HPPB
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "HP-PB bus support"
 * depends on GSC
 * The HP-PB bus was used in the Nova class and K-class servers. If in doubt, say "Y"


 * Option: IOMMU_CCIO
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "U2/Uturn I/O MMU"
 * depends on GSC
 * Say Y here to enable DMA management routines for the first generation of PA-RISC cache-coherent machines. Programs the U2/Uturn chip in "Virtual Mode" and use the I/O MMU.


 * Option: GSC_LASI
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "Lasi I/O support"
 * depends on GSC
 * Say Y here to support the Lasi multifunction chip found in many PA-RISC workstations & servers.It includes interfaces for a parallel port, serial port, NCR 53c710 SCSI, Apricot Ethernet, Harmony audio, PS/2 keyboard & mouse, ISDN, telephony and floppy. Note that you must still enable all the individual drivers for these chips.


 * Option: GSC_WAX
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "Wax I/O support"
 * depends on GSC
 * Say Y here to support the Wax multifunction chip found in some older systems, including B/C/D/R class and 715/64, 715/80 and 715/100. Wax includes an EISA adapter, a serial port (not always used), a HIL interface chip and is also known to be used as the GSC bridge for an X.25 GSC card.


 * Option: EISA
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "EISA support"
 * depends on GSC
 * Say Y here if you have an EISA bus in your machine. This code supports both the Mongoose & Wax EISA adapters.  It is sadly incomplete and lacks support for card-to-host DMA.


 * Option: User:ZyMOS/Howto configure the linux kernel/drivers/eisa


 * Option: ISA
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "ISA support"
 * depends on EISA
 * If you want to plug an ISA card into your EISA bus, say Y here. Most people should say N.


 * Option: PCI
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "PCI support"
 * All recent HP machines have PCI slots, and you should say Y here if you have a recent machine. If you are convinced you do not have PCI slots in your machine (eg a 712), then you may say "N" here. Beware that some GSC cards have a Dino onboard and PCI inside them, so it may be safest to say "Y" anyway.


 * Option: User:ZyMOS/Howto configure the linux kernel/drivers/pci


 * Option: GSC_DINO
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "GSCtoPCI/Dino PCI support"
 * depends on PCI && GSC
 * Say Y here to support the Dino & Cujo GSC to PCI bridges found in machines from the B132 to the C360, the J2240 and the A180. Some GSC/HSC cards (eg gigabit & dual 100 Mbit Ethernet) have a Dino on the card, and you also need to say Y here if you have such a card. Note that Dino also supplies one of the serial ports on certain machines.  If in doubt, say Y.


 * Option: PCI_LBA
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "LBA/Elroy PCI support"
 * depends on PCI
 * Say Y here to support the Elroy PCI Lower Bus Adapter. This is present on B, C, J, L and N-class machines with 4-digit model numbers and the A400/A500.


 * Option: IOSAPIC
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off)
 * depends on PCI_LBA
 * default PCI_LBA


 * Option: IOMMU_SBA
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off)
 * depends on PCI_LBA
 * default PCI_LBA


 * config PCI_EPIC
 * bool "EPIC/SAGA PCI support"
 * depends on PCI
 * default y
 * help
 * Say Y here for V-class PCI, DMA/IOMMU, IRQ subsystem support.


 * Option: User:ZyMOS/Howto configure the linux kernel/drivers/pcmcia


 * Option: User:ZyMOS/Howto configure the linux kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug

PA-RISC specific drivers

 * Option: SUPERIO
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "SuperIO (SuckyIO) support"
 * depends on PCI_LBA
 * default y
 * Say Y here to support the SuperIO chip found in Bxxxx, C3xxx and J5xxx+ machines. This enables IDE, Floppy, Parallel Port, and Serial port on those machines.


 * Option: CHASSIS_LCD_LED
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "Chassis LCD and LED support"
 * default y
 * Say Y here if you want to enable support for the Heartbeat, Disk/Network activities LEDs on some PA-RISC machines, or support for the LCD that can be found on recent material.
 * This has nothing to do with LED State support for A and E class.
 * If unsure, say Y.


 * Option: PDC_CHASSIS
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off) "PDC chassis State Panel support"
 * default y
 * Say Y here if you want to enable support for the LED State front panel as found on E class, and support for the GSP Virtual Front Panel (LED State and message logging) as found on high end servers such as A, L and N-class.  This has nothing to do with Chassis LCD and LED support.  If unsure, say Y.


 * Option: PDC_STABLE
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) "PDC Stable Storage support"
 * depends on SYSFS
 * default y
 * Say Y here if you want to enable support for accessing Stable Storage variables (PDC non volatile variables such as Primary Boot Path, Console Path, Autoboot, Autosearch, etc) through SysFS.
 * If unsure, say Y.
 * To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be called pdc_stable.
