Hi all,
I tried an installation of Debian on a PowerBook G4. At the end,
installation of grub failed. I used the snapshot of June 18.
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2023-06-18/
I cannot attach the installation report as my previous mail with
attachment was blocked.
I saw that grub2 was upgraded a few weeks ago.
PS I now see there are two more recent images.
Regards,
Jeroen Diederen
