Enable ACPI

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is a standard for power + management. It can save energy by stopping unused devices. Deselecting it + could be useful if, for example, your computer does not support ACPI or if + you think the ACPI implementation might cause some problems (for instance + random reboots or system lockups). +
+ +
+ +
Enable SMP
+ + +
This option enables/disables symmetric multiprocessing for multi-core + processors +

Enable APIC

Enabling this gives the operating system access to the Advanced Programmable + Interrupt Controller. APIC devices permit more complex priority models, and + Advanced IRQ (Interrupt Request) management. +

Enable Local APIC

Here you can set Local APIC, which manages all external interrupts for a + specific processor in an SMP system +

With an UEFI system -

Installing Without a Bootloader +

+ + + +

While you can opt to install Mageia without a bootloader (see section 2.1 + Advanced), this is not recommended unless you absolutely know what you are + doing, as without some form of bootloader your operating system will be + unable to start. +

- - - -

With an UEFI system, the user interface is slightly different as you cannot - choose the boot loader since only Grub2-efi is available. -

- - - - -

If Mageia is the first system installed on your computer, the installer - created an ESP (EFI System Partition) to receive the bootloader - (Grub2-efi). If there was already UEFI operating systems previously - installed on your computer (Windows 8 for example), the Mageia installer - detected the existing ESP created by Windows and added grub2-efi. Although - it is possible to have several ESPs, only one is advised and enough whatever - the number of operating systems you have. -

Don't modify the "Boot Device" unless really knowing what you do.

Add or Modify a Boot Menu Entry +

+ + + + + +

To do this you need to manually edit /boot/grub2/custom.cfg or use the + software grub-customizer tool instead + (available in the Mageia repositories). +
