So what? There are thousands of other types of system that _can_ be 
installed...
Whether or not this is an important or grave bug for _Debian Installer_ or 
even Debian in general depends on what the cause of the failure is.
If it is that your hardware is not yet supported by the kernel, then: 
tough luck, you'll just have to wait until support is added by upstream 
kernel maintainers.
If it is a problem in Debian Installer itself or in the Debian kernel 
packages, then maybe we can fix it.

I will leave it to people who actually know about powerpc to judge which 
is the case, set the appropriate severity for your installation report 
and reassign it to the appropriate package.

Thanks for reporting the issue though.

Cheers,
FJP
