In Ubuntu 14.04.4 running on the same hardware, the fix was to update
qemu-system-ppc from cloud-archive:kilo. This repository is only
supported on trusty and contains an earlier version of qemu-system-ppc
than what is available on xenial.


** Description changed:

  qemu-system-ppc64 running on Ubuntu 16.04 beta-2 fails to start an image
  as part of the certification process. This on an IBM ppc64le in PowerVM
- mode running Ubuntu 16.04 beta-2 deployed by MAAS 1.9.1.
+ mode running Ubuntu 16.04 beta-2 deployed by MAAS 1.9.1. There is no
+ error output.

  WARNING: Image format was not specified for 'seed.iso' and probing guessed raw.
           Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
           Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
