Hi Claudia and all,this is a very interesting coincidence. I've started trying a couple of days
a go to install Debian 12 on the same iMac.In my case, I'm booting the netinst image from USB but the kernel crashes somewhere. The screen is not refreshed after a few kernel messages, so I was
not able to debug any further.On the web I've found this project https://fienixppc.blogspot.com/ and I their suggestion about a video driver misconfiguration and a possible solution.
See https://fienixppc.blogspot.com/p/troubleshooting-of.htmlNone of the options, helped me. But I did not try to investigate more since
then. Perhaps you will have better luck :) On 2024-01-23 14:54, Claudia Neumann wrote:
Hi all, I have an iMac G5, PowerMac 12,1 PPC970FX, Platform: PowerMac 12,1 MacRISC4 Power Macinstosh, Memory 1GB+384MB. I had installed Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS and it was running fine. Now I need newer libc and so on. So I wanted to install Debian 12 or even Debian 13 on this iMac. Is that possible? I tried debian-12.4.0-ppc64el-netinst.iso but the iMac does not start from the DVD. What can I do? CU Claudia
