Ah, /dev/hvc0 is what is used for the virtualized environment. i guess yours
is hvsi0, but look at the dmesg output to be sure, and please report back
about it.

Just replace the ttyS0 by a hvsi0, if that is what you use.

The b-i/k code does :
CPU=`grep '^cpu[[:space:]]*:' "$CPUINFO" | head -n1 | cut -d: -f2 | sed
's/^ *//; s/[, ].*//' | tr A-Z a-z`
case "$CPU" in
power3|i-star|s-star|power4|power4+|ppc970*|power5) family=powerpc64 ;;
esac
case "$SUBARCH" in
powermac*|prep|chrp*) echo "$family" ;;
esac
Which should in your case give powerpc64 for family, but i wonder where
$SUBARCH is taken from.
It then does :
CPUS="$(grep -ci ^processor "$CPUINFO")" || CPUS=1
if [ "$CPUS" ] && [ "$CPUS" -gt 1 ] && [ "$1" != "powerpc64" ]; then
SMP=-smp
else
SMP=
fi
Which should yield an empty SMP variable, and thus :
if [ "$SMP" ]; then
echo
"linux-image-$KERNEL_MAJOR-$1$SMP"
fi
echo "linux-image-$KERNEL_MAJOR-$1"
;;
Should yield linux-image-2.6-powerpc64.
Let's try this out by hand :
$ grep '^cpu[[:space:]]*:' 710 | head -n1 | cut -d: -f2 | sed 's/^ *//; s/[,
].*//' | tr A-Z a-z
power5+
Ahah, base-installer doesn't know about the power5+, only the power5, it thus
returns powerpc as base flavour, and then everything else is logical.
Sending a patch for this, once i get the return number of your bug report.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
