Hi,
I updated the documentation I wrote about architectures supported by the 2.6.X kernel. Here is the beginning for the curious:
----8<------
August 2004 Supported architectures for Linux v2.6.8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following is a quite complete list of all the architectures supported
by Linux. Of course, you will find here Alpha, ARM, ARM26, CRIS, H8300,
i386, IA-64, M68000, MIPS, PA-RISC, PPC, S/390, SuperH, SPARC, v850 and
x86-64. But you will find too a complete list of CPUs and board supported
by the kernel. For each part, first list means "board" and second one
means "CPU".
Content:
~~~~~~~~
1. i386 7. IA-64 13. S/390 (32/64)
2. Alpha 8. M68K 14. SuperH (32/64)
3. ARM 9. MIPS (32/64, LE/BE) 15. SPARC
4. ARM26 10. PA-RISC (32/64) 16. UltraSPARC
5. CRIS 11. PPC 17. v850
6. H8300 12. PPC64 18. x86-64
1. i386

The list of Alpha computers is missing the "NoName" model, aka AXPpci33.

Sorry, I don't have much interest in keeping this up to date for ARM
platforms; there are too many ARM platforms around which would make
this a full time job.
I'm not certain that all the ARM platforms we appear to support in
2.6.x are actually working - again, it comes back to time, people and
testing.

I understand, Linux is too much portable :-)
I don't expect we can write a complete and accurate list of all arch in one shot.
It is something that must evolve like the Kernel or Hardware does.

Of course, it will take time.
What do you think about creating a Wiki from this file that users/maintainers could update easily ?
The portability of Linux shouldn't be underestimate by non-expert people. I believe this file could help.
