If I haven't said so already, the PPC64 installer worked well on my late 2005 G5 Quad. I am running the result.

Cheers,
Michael

Hello,

I just uploaded freshly generated Debian Ports installation images:

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2025-08-29/

These are based on kernel 6.16.3 meaning that they contain all
stability
fixes for alpha such that installing even on SMP systems should
finally
just work again.

The recently posted fixes for SPARC [1][2] are not part of these
images
yet, but I will try to include those patches as soon as possible.

The images still bear the version number "12.0.0" in their filenames,
but
those images are based on Debian unstable and therefore "13.0.0" is
more
accurate. I have therefore bumped the version to 13.0.0 for upcoming
images now.

Please test and report back.

Adrian
