Bug#642296: base-installer: on IBM Power 740 installer selects 32bit ppc kernel despite booting with "install64"



Package: base-installer
Severity: important


On a Debian 6.0.2 netinstall on an IBM Power 740 the installer installs
a 32bit kernel despite starting the installation by booting the
"install64" option in yaboot.
When setting compatibility mode to "Power 6" for that LPAR the correct
64bit kernel gets installed.

A solution was suggested here:
