William,
>From RHEL 6 to RHEL 7, I only added one line to the PARM fie:
root=live:nfs://myserver/my/file/system
This seemed to obviate the need for the SSH session as it now points you
directly to the VNC session (a la SLES where no SSH session is necessary).
The additional lines you show in the PARM file seem to clash with the CONF
file.
