    I have performed a successful test installation on sparc64 and will
    perform a test on ia64 on my RX2660 later as well.

    Installation works well on my RX2660, even without the additional kernel parameter that I suggested in my previous mails. However, it may still
    be necessary for other machines.

    Still crashes on my rx2660, even with hardened_usercopy=off, which is
    strange since the panic is on usercopy_abort. I wonder if somehow the

    required in this system).

    Yes, I have observed the same issue on an RX2620. It seems that there are
    some machines where the kernel option doesn't help but only using an older 4.19.x kernel from the 2020-07-16 installation image.

    I would recommend searching for all available firmware updates. I know that
    at least the RAID controller would cause the device driver to cause issues
    when the firmware was too old.

    As for the bug itself, Sergei Trofimovich said he has a possible solution but
    I don't know when the fix is going to be released.

    I could swear it was the last one the one to use. So I used the 09/21 in

    Index of /cdimage/ports/debian-installer<https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/debian-installer/>

    I don’t see a 07/16 in there. Can you point me to it pls?

    It's here:

    https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2019-07-16/

    You are looking at the installer images for network installation via PXE/TFTP.
