Virtualbox: 6.1.22r144080
Installing Centos 8.4 and Rocky 8.4 via packer, which uses kickstart, gets the virtual machine that is started as part of the installation into running state, but the windows doesn't respond (and gives the infamous rotating beachball for that window only). Normally the kickstart installation is visible in the virtual machine window, but that gets stuck (and doesn't respond).
When waiting on packer, it seems to proceed, because eventually ssh becomes available and it can execute the scripts.
But for example the script to insert the vagrant insecure secret key doesn't insert the insecure secret key, and thus later usage fails.
I have done a full manual installation (going through the installation screens myself), and much to my surprise, that seems to work.
Also anything up to Centos 8.3 seems to work fine (?)
I do find the following lines in the VBox.log file with errors that do not seem to happen with my other VMs:
