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/...
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?
you should be able to connect with ssh as root and check the log files
under /tmp, it could be even finished, only the GUI not being refreshed.
We suspect there is something wrong with threading and the installer GUI
when run under Hercules ...

All suggestions welcome, thanks.
