Overriding manually. There are currently 32 ppc64el results missing in ADT. Looking at the logs the problem happens at prep stage while installing the kernel to test and seems to be a problem during grub-probe (reports an error "no a directory"). Even if this is a kernel issue, it would be in the released kernel and should not prevent this update to go out.
