Bug#1033058: Booting mini.iso : kernel hangs on ppc64el

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hello,

I have reopened this bug as this problem even shows on ppc64el again
with the latest netinst daily build downloaded from [1]. I have tested
the image on an IBM 8247-42L inside a PowerKVM virtual machine.

Removing the patch again fixes the problem for me. However, at least on
big-endian ppc64, debian-installer does not accept any keyboard input
after the language menu shows up.

So, either the system has crashed at this point or there is something
wrong with the input device.

Hello John,

I'll work on this bug. I'll update my findings here in this bug thread.
Currently, I have checked that on p9 this image is working fine with
kernel > 6.8. I'll work on p8 issue.

Thanks and regards

Aditi
