Bad news ... even the default installer fails still. See: https://beta.genunix.com/debian_boot/ppc64/debian_ppc64_partman_20210202012126.txt https://beta.genunix.com/debian_boot/ppc64/debian_ppc64_syslog_20210202012030.txt So lets just carve that up to a critical problem somewhere in the .... somewhere .. glad I could test.
