Good to know. Probably the same for your alternate installs. I guess that
confirms it should be a kernel bug? Looking through 1066435 and 1071880
there are a few issues possibly mixed together. It might be a good idea to
file a new bug against server to clarify that? Looks like it also happened
with netboot install.

As best I can make out:
1. The only confirmed reports are those who also have Radeon video card.
blacklisting snd-powermac works around the issue.
That implies snd-powermac and Radeon/radeondrmfb are conflicting? I suppose
getting rid of snd-powermac would be a quick dirty fix. I doubt it is
getting anyone sound anyway and I would rather see people boot successfully
with no sound. With nouveau, I don't get this failure, but it does complain
about snd-powermac being deprecated. I also have to blacklist snd-powermac
on a machine with Mach64 Rage for yet a different problem.
2. It does NOT happen with the live CD? Or is bug just avoided because the
live CD is being booted with video=radeonfb:yada yada essentially disabling
Radeon? Either that or the Desktop vs. other installers differ on handling
of snd-powermac.

One thing that is easy to forget (I always do) is that any kernel
parameters used to boot a live/desktop CD and install will automatically
get appended to yaboot(or grub for X86/64 users) as you just did manually.
Easy way to check what currently is getting passed is:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i kernel

or it is also seen as ProcKernelCMDLine in apport output.

Str8
