Creating vagrant virtualbox rhel8 box with packer fails to find iso

[Stephen Pliska-Matyshak]

Has anyone tried to create a rhel8 vagrant box for virtualbox with packer yet?

I've been trying since the beta came out and switched to the released iso when it came out, but the installer can't find the iso the way the DVD gets mounted in virtualbox vm by packer. I'm doing everything the same as have been doing for centos7 and rhel7, which works marvelously. The devices and mounts look the same between the two versions, but rhel8 installer just can't find the iso. If I manually mount the iso as ide dvd and the vdi as sata hd, installer finds the iso just fine.  Packer mounts both as ide (hd & dvd).

I have to wonder if something changed in rhel8 that I've missed in the documentation. I'm using the packer 1.4.0 and virtualbox 6.0.8

Haven't tried this, but looks worth a shot

That's a total klooge and hassle. What is different between the rhel7 iso and the rhel8 iso that packer would need to mount the iso differently to use it.  This shouldn't be happening.

Could you explain why you think this shouldn't be happening?

figured it out has a couple lines in the ks.cfg that were messing up the installation
