Hi! While working on updated installation images for m68k, I ran into a serious problem with shell-scripts which makes booting Linux on m68k impossible. With debian-installer, the problem manifests with the script /sbin/reopen-console which fails with: /sbin/reopen-console: line 74: syntax error: unterminated quoted string with reopen-console coming from [1]. In order to rule out a problem with debian-installer, I dist-upgraded an existing system which also upgraded the kernel from 4.12 to 4.13. And, indeed, after upgrading the system, the boot fails with: [ 0.520000] ADB mouse at 3, handler 1 [ 0.520000] [ 0.520000] input: ADB mouse as /devices/virtual/input/input1 [ 0.520000] adb: finished probe task...
