# 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.
