The something in question is initramfs-tools.

This message is generally a sign that something else went wrong. Magnus, the
best way on this would be to file a bug report against initramfs-tools about
this second problem, and if possible provide the whole log.
Benjamin, BTW, there seems to be some issue about pmac_zilog and the normal
serial controller, that if both are builtin the kernel, then the PC serial
controller will take priority over pmac_zilog, and this second one will not
work.
Any hint on how to workaround that ?
