Re: Grub Open Firmware error - release keys
Hi Adrian, I used the 11/11/24 install image: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2024-11-11/debian-12.0.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso On a Power Mac G5 11,2 2.5 quad core (8 GB RAM, GeForce 6600 GPU). I thought perhaps the issue was related to having a Radeon HD 6750 in the 8x slot, but I removed it and the error still comes up. Thanks for your time, and for everything you do for the ports!

I agree with John, though. We need to know which CD ISO you're using so we know which version of grub and kernel is being used. A screenshot of the grub menu would help, too. -- Ben Collins https://debian.org | https://ubuntu.com https://ben-collins.blogspot.com https://catchmobilehealth.com -- 3EC9 7598 1672 961A 1139 173A 5D5A 57C7 242B 22CF signature.asc Description: PGP signature
