README for rhel box

Redhat Subscription required

A Redhat Subscription is required to install the additional packages required to complete the testing this box was developed to perform and registration/deregistration code is added to the box Vagrantfile to support / accomodate this.

A Redhat Developer Subscription entitlement is sufficient to meet this requirement.

VirtualBox Guest Additions rebuild

Due to the challenge of building this box for RHEL 9.2 (the base box is RHEL 9.1) and adding VirtualBox Guest Additions to support Shared Folders you probably want to save the box after first build instead of destroying and recreating it each time it is to be used.

video issue on VirtualBox 7 with macOS Ventura

If you are running VirtualBox on Linux or VirtualBox 6 on a macOS version prior to Ventura the following issues may not pertain to your setup.

The generic/rhel9 box has boot issue on VirtualBox 7 (verified up to version 7.0.8) where box will have very low video performance.

The issue can be worked around by disabling the vga=792 kernel boot arg on first boot.

Following that the box will be updated and appear to work normally.
