Thanks. It seems the problem was having both vnc=1 vncpassword=... on
the kernel command line as well as the vnc: 1 and VNCPassword: ... in
the info file. Taking everything except info=file:///info off the kernel
command line and putting everything in the info file fixed it. (The
reason I had both command line parameters and entries in the info file
is that I started running out of blank CDs when I was setting this up
for the first time a few years ago, so I put everything everywhere!)

Ooh, magic! I'll try this next time I have a problem.

Cheers
