I tried `vagrant up` both:

- Rockylinux/8 5.0.0 Box was Created Feb 20, 2025, 10:51:45 AM
- Rockylinux/8 10.0.0 Box was created Feb 20, 2025, 10:59:45 AM

But they get stucked on the ssh and then timedout, Im using the virtualbox provider, any advice is welcome 🙂

Hi, @oliverhr! Are you seeing anything in the logs? Is the host running Windows/macOS/Linux (variant)?

Hi Gabriel, thank you, I just was hoping someone else was tried and having the same issue, but you’re right here is the info:

- Image: [https://vagrantcloud.com/rockylinux/boxes/8/versions/10.0.0/providers/virtualbox/amd64/vagrant.box](https://vagrantcloud.com/rockylinux/boxes/8/versions/10.0.0/providers/virtualbox/amd64/vagrant.box)
- vagrant version: Vagrant 2.4.3
- virtualbox version: 7.1.6 r167084
- Running on MBP Intel i7 MacOS Sequoia - 15.3.2

The output from vagrant is this:

```auto
If the box appears to be booting properly, you may want to increase the timeout ("config.vm.boot_timeout") value.

INFO interface: Machine: error-exit [

"Vagrant::Errors::VMBootTimeout", "Timed out while waiting for the machine to boot. This means that\nVagrant was unable to communicate with the guest machine within
the configured ("config.vm.boot_timeout" value) time period.

If you look above, you should be able to see the error(s) that Vagrant had when attempting to connect to the machine.

These errors are usually good hints as to what may be wrong.

If you're using a custom box, make sure that networking is properly working and you're able to connect to the machine. It is a common\nproblem that networking isn't setup properly in these boxes.

Verify that authentication configurations are also setup properly, as well.

If the box appears to be booting properly, you may want to increase\nthe timeout ("config.vm.boot_timeout") value."
]

```

Looking at the PREVIEW window on virtualbox seems it get stuck on the boot:

Thanks for the information. Hum… Not sure myself unless whatever you are using for a VM Hypervisor has no network connectivity (I’m used to Windows so not sure how Vagrant works on macOS).

Seems 9 is working but 8 not I’ve tried with and 8.9 and got the same error. I just ended using the chef/bento version who always point the latest 8.
