Hi all,

After additional testing and thorough investigation into the architecture-specific bug we discovered, the Rocky Linux team is pleased to announce the availability of Rocky 9.2 for the PowerPC (LE) or ppc64le architecture. Before upgrading your ppc64le machine to Rocky 9.2, review the section below on upgrading.

Our investigation has revealed that the environments under which our tests were performed were running a “pre-production” revision to the Power 9 CPU architecture, leading to segmentation faults we are able to reproduce both in emulated and physical environments with affected processor revisions (steppings). For a more detailed explanation, please read our news post here: https://rockylinux.org/news/rocky-linux-9-2-power-le-update/

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out via email, Mattermost, or the bug tracker.

Best, Neil Hanlon Infrastructure Lead, RESF
