Bug#1033058: Booting mini.iso : kernel hangs on ppc64el



Hello Frédéric,

Frédéric Bonnard <frediz@debian.org> (2023-03-16):

It would be helpful to confirm which exact kernel version is getting
used in both cases (last 6.1.0-4 working, and first 6.1.0-5 not
working), then look at the changes between both versions, in src:linux
(and resulting udebs).

ISTR trying to boot ppc64el under QEMU requires many manual steps, but
I'll try and figure that out, once I'm done with other topics.
