After following Adrians advice and contacting the kernel devs I received the following response: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/2d5d9c82-427e-9384-3ffe-fddf6e1d4...@csgroup.eu/ I've not tried rebuilding yet, but maybe this is worth trying. Thanks, Dan > On 30 Sep 2023, at 01:02, DistroH

Hi all, I have a powermac-g4 with debian installed. Some time ago I experienced an issue with the kernel which caused a hard lock. I have been working around this using apt pinning. My current kernel is: Linux powermac-g4 6.8.12-powerpc #1 Debian 6.8.12-1 (2024-05-31) ppc GNU/Linux And in apt/pr
