Borley:
Do you have any trouble booting Debian?

My C1P9S01 Rev 1.01 has the 2.0 firmware installed. It can boot Fedora and Void successfully.

But it cannot boot any Debian (either install media or an internal drive with Bullseye pre-installed). It just hangs forever at "SIGTERM received, booting...". This was not a problem before installing 2.0 firmware.

MPC7500:
I guess, you have to blacklist one of the GPUs before you start the installer. The firmware version doesn't matter.

I have no dedicated GPU installed when I run the installation media. I would normally set that up after the base system has been installed.

MPC7500:
Oh okay. This is surprising. I did a quick search on the Debian mailing list:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2021/10/msg00096.html

Borley:
Alright, so I'm beginning to see a pattern emerge here. Something about Debian is directing its output to serial on Raptor CS systems, not just Blackbirds.




I went ahead and tried amending the boot arguments for the install media:

Tried passing console=tty0 and console=tty1 as a boot argument after quiet, no success.
Already tried switching boot console from /dev/hvc0 to /dev/tty1 in petiteboot settings, no difference.

Is there some way to update the initramfs of installation images? chroot maybe?
