RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

VBOX VM config
Description of problem:
Installing RHEL 8.0 Beta into a VirtualBox virtual machine. After the package installation the VM changes to a "landscape" graphics mode with graphics corrupted so that no text can be made out.
Pressing enter (or, alternatively tab and then enter) blind restarts the VM but the system is unbootable.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
8.0 Beta
How reproducible:
Every time; different package selections do not seem to make a difference
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 8.0 Beta from ISO in VirtualBox 5.2.20r125813 (Qt5.6.2)
2. Configure system as usual - dhcp, 32GB HD, UTC0, root + one user account. Package selection including graphic admin tools.
3.
Actual results:
At the end of the package installation the VM goes into a strange landscape mode with corrupted graphics. Pressing enter or tab followed by enter or just restarting the VM doesn't work. VM unbootable on restart.
Looking at the VBOX log, graphics mode is 1152x400

00:07:56.521228 GUI: UIFrameBufferPrivate::performResize: Size=1152x400, Directly using source bitmap content
Expected results:
Normal installation.
Additional info:

Hello,
Thank you for the logs. Unfortunately I can't find anything helpful there. Could you please also provides syslog/journal log after this issue happens?
We no longer use VirtualBox so I am unable to reproduce the issue.
