Admittedly, it is a mix of 11 and 12 but bounds might be: Earliest known failing (so far): 11.2 Release is -r335563 (by which point 11 possibly picked up something bad from head) Latest known working (so far): head -r333594 (too soon for 11 to have picked up something from head) =46rom = https://artifact.ci.freebsd.org/snapshot/stable-11/r*/powerpc/powerpc64/ke= rnel.txz (presuming holding a base.txz constant and just swapping kernels) In that range for stable-11 I see matches for * of just: 334634 334654 334698 334956 335204 335406 335436 335472 335488 335492 335496 335508 335514 335556 So about 14 versions of 11's kernel seem to be available in a pre-built form for powerpc64 under the assumption of "common problem, moved from head to 11". Of course 11.2's release -r335563 could be included. There do not seem to be earlier powerpc64 snapshots anywhere near -r333594's time frame. That could possibly be used to narrow the range more for 11 without doing builds. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
