PPC (32-bit) Kernel Version

Hi all,
I have a powermac-g4 with debian installed.
Some time ago I experienced an issue with the kernel which caused a hard lock.
I have been working around this using apt pinning.
My current kernel is:

Linux powermac-g4 6.8.12-powerpc #1 Debian 6.8.12-1 (2024-05-31) ppc GNU/Linux


And in apt/preferences.d/00-kernel I have:

package: linux-image-6.9.7-powerpc
Pin: version 6.9.7-1
Pin-Priority: -1

package: linux-image-6.9.12-powerpc
Pin: version 6.9.12-1
Pin-Priority: -1

I’m not even sure how correct that is, but it seems to have let me run apt update / upgrade without updating the kernel to the one that caused the hard lock.

So, I guess my question is, am I now safe to remove that pinning, or are there still issues?

I know I could just test, but this machine is headless and heavy so I’m being lazy!

Thanks,

Dan
