Wow!
I just did an update -> upgrade on my Power Mac G4 and noticed that it provides
the new kernel version 6.5.0-2 .
This appears to have fixed the panic-on-boot bug in version 6.5.0-1 .
Big thanks for all your efforts!

The package libssl1.1 seems to have been removed from the powerpc/ppc64
archives.
However the package hfsprogs depends on it.
hfsprogs is vital on powerpc/ppc34 .

You have

But there is no actual file named "vmlinux-5.9.0-5-powerpc64" in the directory.

I tried the 2019-04-12 debian-10.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso on a PowerMac G5 dual
processor (PowerMac7,3).

Hi Noah,
What model machine are you trying to install on?
Can you provide the full syslog file?
Thanks,

I tried the 2019-04-11 debian-10.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso on a PowerMac G4
Silver (PowerMac3,4).
The image was burned to a CD-R and booted by Open Firmware.
A normal install was performed by keeping everything not otherwise mentioned as
default.
Proprietary firmwares were not manually added.
It’s *possible* that the DVD drive in the dual-socket machine is not able to
boot from DVD-RW. (I have seen this before occasionally)
Try burning to a DVD-R
Just a thought…

PS: Also note that Adrian is in the process of making an updated boot CD for
PowerPC64. See the recent mail in
Is there a new install CD/DVD for PowerPC Jessie now that it’s repo has been
moved to archives?
And in a similar vein, what changes do I need to make to sources.list for a Mac
powerpc and/or powerpc64 that already has Jessie installed (*not* Sid)
Thanks!
Rick
Hi David,
Try installing with the “oldstable”/“Jessie” CD.
http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/8.11.0/powerpc/iso-cd/
Grub for Powerpc is still a work in progress. It may not work on your old G3
machine. Jessie uses the older “yaboot” bootloader, which may be more stable
I just tried installing the 2019/01/27 ppc64 NETINST-1 on my Powermac G5 7,3.
It booted OK and went thru the preliminaries, but about the time it got to
loading the partitioner, the windfarm fans started going crazy and I had to
shut it down.
I seem to remember that there was a module I could
