Re: Please test the latest installation images

Hello Adrian,


Thank you for creating new images.  I tested 
debian-12.0.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso 
<https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2024-10-10/debian-12.0.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso> 
on my iBook G4 (PowerBook 6,7) and after selecting "Default install" at 
the GRUB menu, it loaded for a while then panicked and gave the 
following error:


[0.000000]ftrace-powerpc: 0xc03f8304: expected (60000000) != found 
(455f3131)


The same also occurs with "Automated install".
