PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE test the third alpha.

I've "tested" 4.13 alpha 3, at least to the extent of
booting fine and startup of a few programs
(Firefox, GIMP, Gears, Terminal, etc).

Seems to be ok. Will try alpha 4 today.

oops. Both Alpha5 and Alpha6 boot, but they dump me into a terminal screen without starting the GUI.

Don't yet know enough about Linux logging, but I've listed the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log below.

On the next boot (with 4.11) I get popup messages warning about an Internal Error in 17.04 re XOrg
and ntpd and syslogd.

Hi Tom,

Thank you for testing! Could you please post the dmesg output of the alpha5? Additionally could you please test the alpha4?

Maybe the first PowerPC updates are the problem.

Thanks,
Christian
