This offers no additional security in &arch-kernel; but if you also run -Windows it may prevent a catastrophe. There is no need to tamper with -the Master Boot Record (MBR) after the boot manager has been set up. - - -. - - - - - Shadow RAM - - -Your motherboard may provide shadow RAM or BIOS -caching. You may see settings for Video BIOS Shadow, -C800-CBFF Shadow, etc. Disable -all shadow RAM. Shadow -RAM is used to accelerate access to the ROMs on your motherboard and -on some of the controller cards. &arch-kernel; does not use these ROMs once it -has booted because it provides its own faster 32-bit software in place -of the 16-bit programs in the ROMs. Disabling the shadow RAM may make -some of it available for programs to use as normal memory. Leaving -the shadow RAM enabled may interfere with &arch-kernel; access to hardware -devices. - - - - - Memory Hole - - -If your BIOS offers something like 15–16 MB Memory -Hole, please disable that. &arch-kernel; expects to find memory there if -you have that much RAM. - - - -We have a report of an Intel Endeavor motherboard on which there is an -option called LFB or Linear Frame Buffer. -This had two settings: Disabled and 1 -Megabyte. Set it to 1 Megabyte. -When disabled, the installation floppy was not read correctly, and the -system eventually crashed.
