global has_apm -> boolean

true if the BIOS supports APM

global has_pcmcia -> boolean

true if the system supports PCMCIA

global is_uml -> boolean

true if UML

global has_smp -> boolean

true if running on multiprocessor board. This only reflects the board, not the actual number of CPUs or the running kernel!

global setSMP (boolean is_smp) -> void

Set "Arch::has_smp". Since Alpha doesn't reliably probe smp, 'has_smp' must be set later with this function.

Parameters:

is_smp

true if has_smp should be true

Example:

setSMP(true);

Info:

true if Xen kernel is running (dom0 or domU)

Info:

true if dom0 Xen kernel is running

Info:

true if domU Xen kernel is running

global x11_setup_needed -> boolean

run X11 configuration after inital boot this is false in case of: installation on iSeries installation on S390 Also see Mode::x11_setup_needed.
