FWIW, when I've complained in the past about endian issues with the
radeon drivers on PPC, the upstream response has often been "we know
it's broken on big-endian arches, patches welcome, or go buy an nvidia
card".  So, this may prove to be a lost cause without someone with the
time and expertise to dive in.

Title:
  PPC - GUI freezes except for mouse pointer

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During the installation the computer freezes completely except for the
  mouse pointer.  And even that is stuck with whatever shape it happened
  to have at the time it froze.  The steps I have to cause the freeze
  are run Ubiquity to start the installation open a terminal, run
  Ubuntu-bug and let it launch Firefox.  It will freeze every time then.
  Even the consoles (ctrl-alt-f1 etc) are unavailable.  What kind of
  information can I collect and how?
