Problem installing F19 under Hercules 3.09
I'm trying to install F19 s390x under Hercules 3.09 running on an F19 x86_64 machine,
but without success. When I had Hercules defined with NUMCPU 1, I usually ended up with
the install in a 6-instruction loop. Having read elsewhere that single cpu's might be
a problem, Hercules is now defined with NUMCPU 2, which produces different results.
I always get to the "Please ssh install(a)blah.blah.blah (192.168.236.200) to begin the
install" message. I ssh and start the vncveiwer. The vncveiwer window in blank
(black), although sometimes a grey rectangle appears, until it is closed. The ssh messages
for the last three attempts were:-
Attempt one.
Please manually connect your vnc client to blah.blah.blah:1 (192.168.236.200) to begin the
install.
[xcb] Unknown request in queue while dequeuing
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.

Attempts two and three
Please manually connect your vnc client to blah.blah.blah:1 (192.168.236.200) to begin the
install.

I assume the problem is a timing issue, but I don't know where to start looking. What
info, if any, can I provide? Any suggestions gratefully received.
