[NEWS] Debian
MauryG5:
done well but with the key it does not start the installation from petit boot, whether I copy the iso image directly as I download it, or if I put the ISO file through a procedure with Shell. Eventually I managed to install it by putting both. With the DVD I started the installation and with the stick I did the installation once I entered ... I honestly don't understand this strange behavior of Debian. Now I am installing gnome and the optical drive works fine ... Anyway, apart from these oddities, do you or someone else know by chance where to download the 5.9.6 kernel for Debian Power? Thanks
pocock:
The 5.9.6 kernel is in backports
You can look here to see it really built for ppc64le:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=linux&suite=buster-backports
To install it, after you installed Debian, you type something like this:
$ sudo apt install -t buster-backports linux-image-powerpc64le
MauryG5:
Hi Pocock, thanks for reporting, I'll do as you tell me. The thing I am seeing for now is that for me Debian runs very badly at the moment, it jerks ... Obviously at the moment I have to use it with Blackbird video output but the resolution is still low so I don't know if it depends on the graphics server or other...
xilinder:
Do a lsmod in a terminal and see if there are several amdgpu modules installed.
Then Look in /lib/firmware for your GPU and make sure all the firmware for the card is in there.
MauryG5:
Xlinder sorry, but I have to do the ismod command after installing the 5.9.6 kernel right? I don't think that at the moment with 4.19 there can be support for recent AMD GPUs like my Navi 10 ... The problem is that at the moment it jerks and I don't know if I can make it go well, let's see if I have to do everything as a server and so I should exit with ctrl, alt, F2 to return to server mode and from there type ismod and possibly also install the kernel or I can do it from desktop ...
