To start, I chose to test this new image (thanks for this update) on 
MacMini G4. On this machine, it used to work but this time, I have a 
fatal error: grub fails to be installed. It mentions "grub-install 
/dev/sda3" and the more detailed error "filesystem on /boot/grub is 
neither HFS nor HFS+".

When I created partitions with the easiest way using the whole disk, I 
had a 256 MB hfs partition (/dev/sda2) and a 58.7 GB ext4 partition 
(/dev/sda3). But I can't see this hfs partition and grub-install tries 
to use my root partition ...

I used an USB stick to perform the installation.

I will try to test ppc64 installation on my PowerMac G5 this week-end.
