I unfortunately have not had a chance to play with anything newer than power7.
Sorry, I wrote my note super hastily and forgot to mention that I was wondering about BE specifically. Currently I see kernel 4.16 is used by the installer and I get a panic regarding a VMX Unavailable Exception on POWER9 powernv (both baremetal / OPAL and qemu emulated), so I'm wondering if anybody else is catching that panic too etc. I know BE support for PPC64 was dropped officially by I understand buildd builders are still building it so there are fresh packages out there. Thanks for replying and for the comments! Cheers, Gustavo
