Wow!
I just did an update -> upgrade on my Power Mac G4 and noticed that it provides
the new kernel version 6.5.0-2 .
This appears to have fixed the panic-on-boot bug in version 6.5.0-1 .
Big thanks for all your efforts!

Sadly, it looks like this wasn't the only dependency on libssl1.1 .

The package libssl1.1 seems to have been removed from the powerpc/ppc64
archives.
However the package hfsprogs depends on it.
hfsprogs is vital on powerpc/ppc34 .
Am I missing something?

I suspect that this difference is what's producing the "error: can't open

did a manual partitioning install on the amd64 that mimicked the layout of the

rescue mode from the CD-R and retrieved the attached
information.
Let me know if there’s anything more you need.
I’ll try 2019-04-12 on Saturday.
Thanks to all for the good work so far!

It’s *possible* that the DVD drive in the dual-socket machine is not able to
boot from DVD-RW. (I have seen this before occasionally)
Try burning to a DVD-R
Just a thought…

PS: Also note that Adrian is in the process of making an updated boot CD for
PowerPC64. See the recent mail in
Is there a new install CD/DVD for PowerPC Jessie now that it’s repo has been
moved to archives?
And in a similar vein, what changes do I need to make to sources.list for a Mac
powerpc and/or powerpc64 that already has Jessie installed (*not* Sid)
Thanks!
Rick
for your situation. Everybody seems to agree that Grub is the wave of the
future, but that wave hasn’t fully crested yet.
Hope this helps!

Anybody got a clue they feel like sharing with me?
Anybody else see this happening?
Enjoy!

’s no longer installed by
default, but it is available in the “net-tools” package.
To install it do:
apt-get net-tools
Of course, it would be a good idea to read the man page for ip(8) sometime
soon. Lot’s more useful features, and it seems to be the wave of the future in
network admin these days.
Enjoy!

-select. Use the space bar to select (asterisk in the box) or de-select
(space in the box) that row.
I usually choose to select the “SSH server” and the “basic system”(last line)
and leave everything else de-selected.
HTH,

Hi Noah,
It sounds like you’re running out of free space in the partition that contains
the /boot directory.
Can you describe the steps you used to partition the disk? In particular, if
you are re-using the /boot partition so as not to interfere with your existing
installation, how much free space is there in it. E.g. on your existing
(working) setup do
df -HTP /boot
hope it helps!
