      2. install guest with virt-install cmd like below:

      # virt-install --memory 2048 --vcpus 2 --os-variant rhel9-unknown --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 --input keyboard,bus=virtio --input tablet,bus=virtio --disk size=20 --cdrom /var/lib/libvirt/images/boot.iso -l http://<repourl>/rhel-9/composes/RHEL-9/RHEL-9.5.0-20240731.4/compose/BaseOS/s390x/os/ --extra-args "inst.text" 

      3. Connect to the guest with vnc, but get black screen like screenshot of "black_screen_from_vnc.png" in attachment.

      4. Use virsh console rhel9 to connect to guest serial console, then I could see the text installation info, which is like screenshot of "info_from_virsh_console.png" in attachment.
