Well, i believe there is no reason for any of the 2.6 arches to still use
cramfs, not sure though. In any case, powerpc can handle initramfs just fine
(and indeed, it is used by initramfs-tools for the real ramdisk), and i
believe ubuntu also produces initramfs for their installer incarnation on
powerpc.

So, the attached patch uses an initramfs for all powerpc subarches. Tested on
IBM pSeries p505.

Changes: 
 debian-installer (20061022) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Remove some leftover 2.4+2.6 support in the ia64 configs.
   * Make amd64 consitently use initramfs images.
   * Drop 2.4 support for i386.
   * Merge most differences between i386 and amd64 configs. Only remaining
     difference is that floppy support is still desirable (though not
     present) for i386.
   * Build gtk isolinux initrd as part of the build process for the
     regular isolinux image, so that it will be included properly in the
     isolinux files.
   * Switch i386 to 2.6.17-2.
   * Remove root=/dev/ram from syslinux configs, turns out not to be needed for
     the kernel to find initramfs.
   * Remove ramdisk_size= and "rw" settings, also not needed.
   * Which means that ramdisk-size-subst is not needed for x86; removed
     calls to it.
 .
   [ Martin Michlmayr ]
   * Switch arm to 2.6.17-2.
   * Clean-up arm config now that 2.4 is gone.
   * Use mknettrom from the nwutil package instead of our own local copy.
   * Add images for iop32x with support for GLAN Tank.
   * Add images for ixp4xx.
   * Switch mips to 2.6.17-2.
   * Switch mipsel to 2.6.17-2.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Switch hppa and sparc to 2.6.17-2.
   * Switch s390 to 2.6.17-2 and re-enable the tape target.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Remove pcmcia kernel modules from ads cf image; provided by monolithic
     kernels.
 .
   [ Wouter Verhelst ]
   * Nuke 2.2/2.4 for m68k.
 .
   [ Stephen R. Marenka ]
   * Nuke non-rc subarchs for m68k.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Fix ads image builds, need to turn off globally set KERNELVERSION.
   * Remove leftover stuff for speakup/access floppy images.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Clean up pkg-lists for removal of 2.2/2.4 support.
 .
   [ dann frazier ]
   * Switch IA64 to 2.6.17-2.
 .
   [ Otavio Salvador ]
   * Fix gtk isolinux.cfg building.
 .
   [ Kurt Roeckx ]
   * Siwtch amd64 to 2.6.17-2.
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Switch alpha to 2.6.17-2 to keep it building. (Untested by me.)
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Use pcmciautils on mips/mipsel monolithic 2.6 builds.
 .
   [ Sven Luther ]
   * Get rid of cdrom64/netboot64/gtk-miniiso64 for the powerpc64
     subarchitecture (closes: #385145).
   * Switch powerpc 2.6 images to initramfs (closes: #385175).
 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Switch KERNELMAJOR to 2.6 for ads images, since that the most likely
     kernel used.
   * Include pcmciautils on ads cf image, but keep pcmcia-cs on there too, on
     the off chance that a 2.4 kernel is used with it.
   * Add X_INSTALLATION_MEDIUM to lsb-release file.
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Switch powerpc to 2.6.17-2. Closes: #385164
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Switch to using initramfs for sparc (except for floppy images); remove no
     longer needed boot parameters from silo.conf.
   * Switch to using initramfs for hppa; remove no longer needed palo
     parameters.
 .
   [ Wouter Verhelst ]
   * Don't build powerpc floppy targets in the "regular" builds; they're of no
     use there except to confuse the user. Which is not useful at all.
     Closes: #323182, #315308
 .
   [ Martin Michlmayr ]
   * Add a firmware image for Linksys NSLU2 for the new ixp4xx flavour.
   * Put oldsys-preseed on the iop32x image.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Add support for ppc64 based on patch from Andreas Jochens. Closes: #382628.
   * Switch default INITRD_FS to initramfs; configs for individual
     architectures modified so there are no actual changes.
   * Add sata-modules for cdrom images on alpha.
 .
   [ Sylvain Ferriol ]
   * Add support for 2.6 based floppy installation for i386.
