2nd select_console() call failed with pvm_hmc backend

I am testing for the first time the "install_only" test on my own ppc64le openQA machine with specific worker configured to access a LPAR P8 with pvm_hmc backend.

test failure when installation_overview is calling select_console 'install-shell' which is the 2nd call as per extract of attached autoinst.log (p8lpar_install_shell_not_matched_autoinst.log)
