| 6 | Say Y here if your target has the gdb-sh-stub |
| 7 | package from www.m17n.org (or any conforming standard LinuxSH BIOS) |
| 8 | in FLASH or EPROM. The kernel will use standard BIOS calls during |
| 9 | boot for various housekeeping tasks (including calls to read and |
| 10 | write characters to a system console, get a MAC address from an |
| 11 | on-board Ethernet interface, and shut down the hardware). Note this |
| 12 | does not work with machines with an existing operating system in |
| 13 | mask ROM and no flash (WindowsCE machines fall in this category). |
| 14 | If unsure, say N. |

| 29 | If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the |
| 30 | kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates |
| 31 | running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure |
| 32 | on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option |
| 33 | will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace. |
