Hi!
I uploaded updated Debian installer CD images today.
These come with the latest versions of the kernel and the debian-installer application as well as various other updates. The images can be found at
the usual location [1] as well as the debian-installer for netboot [2].
Known issues:
- We still don't have support for contrib and non-free, so the images are
missing non-free firmware. It is planned that the Debian Ports FTP server
will be extended to support contrib and non-free but I don't have any
influence on that as this is up to the Debian Ports FTP maintainers.
So far, I have tested the images on sparc64 only. Please test on the other architectures and report back.
Thanks,
Adrian

Install on sparc64 went smoothly. Initial first boot hangs at some
systemd related process. I will try to get logs regarding that. I was
able to boot to single user mode and then from there to bring up the
server to full multi-user mode whereupon everything seems to "just work"
and that includes the improved and fixed gcc :

Surprised that bug was in the sparc64 world since at least gcc 7.3.0.
