Hmm. I could create an updated debian-installer image for powerpc and see if it works there. I might just be missing something, maybe in the grub2 package itself. > Looking at the parted source code, they are abusing flags to store things > that are not flags.

But I from debian-installer point of view, it's still treated as a flag. So, I think we need to check where that is normally set. But my main guess is now that the grub2 needs additional changes currently missing for ppc64. Adrian -- .''`.
