The big question is what is "kvm"? It claims to be an instance of qemu 2.0, yet doesn't advertize the -M pseries machine type.
Looking at the output of -M \? which you helpfully supplied, it seems to be qemu-system-ppc (not qemu-system-ppc64).
Although the name of the hypervisor is compiled into libguesstfs at configure time, it's possible to override it at run time by setting the LIBGUESTFS_HV environment variable (previously LIBGUESTFS_QEMU .. you can set either). I suggest setting it to /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc64
This is a bug in the Ubuntu qemu package. KVM and qemu have long been unified upstream, so there is no need for a separate "kvm" binary, esp one pointing to the wrong binary.
About the previous issue: renaming the binary worked because supermin falls back to looking at the filename for the version number. There is still a bug hiding there, which is that we can't read the version number out of the binary kernel image, for some reason.
Rich.
