+While in many cases, the value portage uses for <c>ARCH</c> and <c>KEYWORDS</c> |
| 41 |
+matches the value used by the kernel, this is not always the case. It also |
| 42 |
+does not match exactly the machine list in the table above. Over time, the |
| 43 |
+kernel may even rename/unify some architectures, so an exact list is not |
| 44 |
+possible without tracking every version! |
| 45 |
+</p> |
| 46 |
+ |
| 47 |
+<p> |
| 48 |
+To find the current list of architectures, simply peek in the <path>arch</path> |
| 49 |
+subdirectory of your kernel sources. Keep in mind that the kernel will have |
| 50 |
+many processors unified under a single architecture. So while you may have an |
| 51 |
+omap or strong arm or xscale processor, these cpus are all part of the same |
| 52 |
+arm architecture. The same goes for i386, i486, i586, and i686 processors. |
| 53 |
+These all fall under the i386 architecture. |
