News, discussions and problems, about the new Kernels on Power

We have different points of view, I last used Debian something around 1995/6. I'm glad I don't have to use it but I wouldn't call it crap ;)
I didn't use Chromium either, for me the most important thing is maximum compatibility with RedHat but also access to the latest software, even at the cost of being a tester.

MPC7500:
I would equate Fedora with Debian testing. More or less. If you don't want to be a tester, then just use RHEL, CentOS, Circle Linux, Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux instead of Fedora.

Well, a long time has passed since 1995/96, a few years ago I could even agree with you as Debian was still far behind in terms of Kernel and performance in general on Power and was also a little too behind in my opinion in terms of packages. But from Debian 11 onwards things have definitely changed and in my opinion Debian has become a point of reference for us at Power for its good general performance and for the proverbial complete reliability it has and also now it is better updated as packages. If you try Debian now you have an excellent experience of general use, this problem I repeat is only something that currently only has Debian 12 and where you have to investigate thoroughly to understand where the problem lies. In the meantime, I hope that with the definitive version the problem disappears in any case...

Guys I did the latest Debian 12 updates, installed the packages to manage the new Kernel 6.3, installed the same Kernel 6.3 but it still doesn't work and we are talking about the official Debian one this time. So there is at this point, at least on Power, a real problem of the new Kernels from 6.2 onwards that Debian 12 can't get working. I hope the Debian developers on Power can shed some light on this situation because now there is a real problem that prevents us from carrying forward the Kernel on Debian...

MauryG5:
I also tried the new Kernel 6.4.1 stable on Debian 12 but unfortunately there is the same problem here too. The new Kernels don't work on Debian 12, the nice thing is that the official one, now at version 6.3.0.2, doesn't work either... I don't understand what is happening with Debian 12 and the new Kernels. Possibly it's still our problem on Power because I don't think the X86 version has these problems, they would have already noticed it I think at this point and after all this time...
