We had been having trouble getting the vnc graphical install to start on s390x. It turns out that we were just impatient. We were trying to start the vnc graphical install from the very beginning of the install. Anaconda was not ready for vnc yet. It is necessary to do a few steps of the install via ssh or telnet before the vnc server is started by anaconda. Specifically, install options must be given via telnet or ssh through selection of an install method (ftp, nfs, etc) and server. Once these are selected (we used nfs), anaconda drops out of the non-graphical installer and says to connect with vnc. For those folks familiar with installing RedHat, this may have been an obvious step. In fact, strictly speaking, the initial message says to connect with ssh or telnet. We just assumed that we should use vnc instead. We're mostly IBM MVS folks, and haven't yet figured out what to assume and what to take literally. It might be appropriate for RedHat to add a note to the release notes that part of the ssh/telnet install must be done before vnc starts. Hopefully this info will be useful to others. -- Taroon-beta-list mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/taroon-beta-list
