Okay - I've just committed a fix for the package argument handling for 
file arguments with no partition identifier, and this seems to have 
fixed PPC so that both your openSUSE and Fedora PPC images boot once 
again - can you confirm at your end?

Incidentally, I think there may be another low-level device emulation 
bug in qemu ppc somewhere. If I boot the openSUSE image here then it 
segfaults the qemu host binary during boot before reaching the installer 
- perhaps another PCI device-related issue?


ATB,

Mark.
