Note that as I understand there are also problems booting the kernel outside the installer (i.e. just upgrading an installed system), this does not seem to be a Debian Installer issue, but rather a powerpc kernel or kernel configuration issue. This of course means that the debian-boot team can do very little about it and that you need help from the kernel maintainer. My expectation is that the installer will work just fine again once the kernel issue is solved. See also bug #366620 that is currently being discussed on the debian-kernel list. Cheers, FJP
