My best guess here is that mkinitramfs is not creating a valid initramfs
on powerpc from an xfs filesystem. The message about not being able to
mount the rootfs should not ever be seen so long as the initrd is valid.

The other possibility (which would explain the powerpc dependence of
this bug) is that yaboot is not copying the initrd over to the apple
boot partition correctly for some reason, caused by xfs.

Either way, this cannot be a kernel bug, mainly because if the initrd
were places correctly, we would get to the initramfs and see a different
message.

The part of the boot failure here from the kernel is completely
unrelated to xfs, since it has not even gotten to the initrd, much less
to module loading where the xfs module would be loaded.
