Right, OK. As Thomas mentioned - we still use genisoimage to make the
powerpc CDs (to get the horrid HFS hybrid stuff for Mac machines) but
we're using xorriso for the ppc64el images. That probably explains the
difference you're seeing. If the ppc64el images boot and work OK, then
that's fine AFAICS...
