Hi,

 

I’m trying to install F19 under Hercules 3.09 on Windows 7 64 bit and the install appears to stop on the installer Configuration - User Settings screen with ‘Preparing to install’ message.

 

The installer seems to boot fine with the following boot options:

 

ro ramdisk_size=40000 cio_ignore=all,!0.0.0009 vnc vncpassword=fedora rd.dasd=0.0.3002 rd.dasd=0.0.3003 ip=192.168.0.202::192.168.0.1:24:s390.localdomain:eth0:none rd.znet=lcs,0.0.0610,0.0.0611 root=live:http://192.168.0.51/f19/images/install.img repo=http://secondary.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/19/Fedora/s390x/os nameserver=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

 

the nameserver parameter has been  ‘x’ out for security.

 

Next:

 

1)         connect over VNC

2)         specify language and keyboard map

3)         specify installation destination

4)         specify software selection, I select minimal

5)         select begin installation

6)         specify root password

7)         specify user

 

after step 5 the ‘Preparing to install’ message is displayed but nothing else seems to happen.

 

I’ve left the installer for several hours and no further output is received.

 

Anyone come across this before?  Are there any diagnostics that would help determine what has gone wrong?

 

All suggestions welcome, thanks.

 

Regards, Darren.
