Great! If you just have time, could you please put a partition image of it available at your site...?
Roland,
We have a problem. I created a Debian 11 PPC64 image with a recompiled VLC without AltiVec. Additionally I compiled the new Open Surge 0.5.2.1 and added it to this image.
I uploaded this image today. Download:
debian-11.0-ppc64.img.tar.gz
It works without any problems on the X1000. Unfortunately Xorg doesn't start on the X5000.
Casey reported this issue two years ago.
Link to the thread:
Debian PPC64
Additionally he created a bug report:
Xorg problem preventing bootup
Maybe a problem with a missing fpsqrt instruction:
PPC64: gcc currently compiles for power4 by default, causing glibc's sqrtf to fail on e6500
Cheers,
Christian

That is very sad to hear... Thank you anyway for trying!
Surpricing it does not work even with e6500. Not good news for the open source PPC portable project, either
