Hmmm, OK. IIRC there was a change in default path quite a while back
which had this kind of effect, but I *think* that was back
pre-Jessie. We had to cope with this for x86 architectures. *Maybe*
there's a similar change needed for ppc64el too?
git://git.debian.org/d-i/debian-installer commit 81109010691ee0fc9357bd10be8fe116b9bb9f84
is the thing I'm looking at. Maybe compare the grub.cfg file in each image?
