I've just done a quick test of this under qemu-system-sparc64 and I can boot to the installer in -nographic mode which is great :) One thing to note is that it still seems that virtio modules aren't being built for sparc64 at the moment. A quick look through the git history showed this commit: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/kernel/linux.git/commit/?h=sid&id=92831f3cb9a1f10e84f6f7f1354b8b0b4b83b577 Is this something that also needs to be done for sparc64 in order to get the virtio modules included again? ATB, Mark.
