I tried an installation with the SD card images dd 2022-11-08 and I did NOT get output via HDMI. I've had some other troubles getting things to work, so I won't say with 100% certainty that it doesn't work. It looked like it didn't work properly via serial console either, but thanks to hints from Vagrant, I found out that an USB extension cable was the main culprit of that. Never caused any issues with RPi's (115200), but I guess Rockchip's 1500000 is more sensitive. Connecting the serial cable directly to my laptop, made it workable. I use 'screen' as the terminal program and instead of using the full screen of my laptop, it used only about 1/4 of that. That caused some display issues and particularly on the 1st screen where you select the installation language. The only one properly visible was 'English' and I wasn't able to see/read any other languages. I _think_ trying to select it, didn't work either. Luckily I want 'English', so I could just press enter :-) The other screens worked fine, with maybe some minor glitches due to the limited *usable* screen area. If something can be done so that it would use the full screen, then I'm sure it would be perfect. I was already planning to test d-i before Bookworm, but I had an urgent need to try it *now*. I normally build my own full image and put that onto the Rock64, but that seems to have caused a rather annoying issue, namely it had the same MAC address as another Rock64 in my device, which is rather important and also runs apt-cacher-ng for my LAN. But I had 0 issues with that when using d-i and it indeed got a totally different MAC address, so mission accomplished! Cheers, Diederik
