You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Affects Ubuntu precise, Lubuntu precise.
PowerPC startup issue.

at boot: 
choices are:
Linux    old     Ubuntu-Linux
choice names are wrong, swapped (Ubuntu-Linux boots into Lubuntu)

Following entire disk install of Lubuntu precise-desktop.powerpc.iso
20120308, entire disk, I installed Ubuntu precise-desktop.powerpc.iso
20120308, along side Lubuntu, resized partitions.

On restart, at the boot: prompt, I hit the TAB key, and my login options
were:

Linux   old   Ubuntu-Linux

To make a long story short, "Linux" boots into Ubuntu and "Ubuntu-Linux"
boots into Lubuntu.

Both Ubuntu and Lubuntu run after log in. There are some other bugs
related to screen anomalies, but I'll report those separately.

I wouldn't rush to fix the naming, especially since the Ubuntu precise PPC resizing works.
But, and I've filed a separate bug report, Lubuntu precise resizing install doesn't work from the desktop iso. Haven't tried the alternate iso.
