Hi again :)

I tried snapshots/2024-01-31/debian-12.0.0-ppc64-NETINST-1.iso

And was able to start booting from usb with:
boot usb0/disk@1:,\boot\grub\powerpc.elf
(typed in Open Firmware shell)
(usb0 is the top port)

Grub worked, and then I tried default install (the 1st option) and it
started loading during like 2 minutes.
And then it got stuck with some superposition of the messages
smp_core99_probe
and
the stuff before
DO-QUIESCE finisedBooting Linux via __start() @ 0x0000000002090000 ...

Same when starting expert install.

Models: M9249 and M9845, see:

Any hint of what might be the issue?

Cheers,
