Hi Christian,

thanks for your reply, that's encouraging for us... and especially thanks for keeping an history of installation iso!

I am trying to install using the latest iso (Snapshot 20171219)... it's not working. I have many errors.

I continue my tests, and try to post the

Hi Michal, It would be phenomenal to get LEAP for ppc64 be! Note that once installed, quality is here. (Almost everything works very nice - I have problems with wireless, something linked to dhcp lease with my router...) installation is more hectic though... In fact, I have realized I was really lucky when I did my first installation... In the "User Interface" installation phase, If we select either "Server (text mode)" or "Desktop with GNOME)", installation fails (I haven't tested "Desktop with KDE PLASMA"). It looks like packages to install are not selected correctly. BUT, if we select "Custom" then select the software to install (LXDE or GNOME etc...) installation is done almost correctly. In fact, for some reason, the kernel is not installed. I think this is linked to the errors concerning the missing prep partition (for ppc64 little endian?). Anyway, I get by by installing kernel-default using chroot. This behavior was also present in the September ISO. I boot using yaboot, and not grub. I have an installation with macos, debian, and now two Tumbleweeds :-) To sum up, LXDE IS VERY NICE with my iMac G5 1GB Ram, but GNOME takes forever to start, and is red (literally). I will test KDE when I can! I will try to encourage more people to install and test Tumbleweed on ppc64 be - by writing a simplified installation procedure on the wiki. I hope this will help!

As you might have noticed the ppc64 bigendian port is not released as part of the more stable Leap releases but is only part of the Tumbleweed rolling release. This is because we do not have enough people testing and fixing the ppc64 port which shows many issues unique to bigendian machines. Consequently the ppc64 port is not release quality because many packages will fail to build or will build but not work correctly. With more users contributing this might change eventually.
