Problem Description
-------------------------
Ubuntu 14.10 VNC mode installation hangs at the installer screen "Select a language"
---uname output---
Ubuntu daily build dated July 21st 2014
Machine Type = 8284-22A
---System Hang---
During VNC mode installation, the installer hangs at the screen "Select a language", it does not accept any key inputs.
Have verified it with both windows vncviewer (ultraVNC) and also linux
vncviewer (tightvnc-java). Its the same behavior.
Tried it even with expert mode, it hangs at the very first graphical screen and doesn't accept any key inputs.
pKVM host:
[root at lep8a ISO]# cat /etc/issue

1. define and start the below xml for VNC based installation.
