<p class="MsoNormal">I've corresponded with KS in the past regarding the vagrant images (thanks!) but wanted to this to the list to request the vagrant images be tweaked a little in future updates:<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]>the /boot partition is too small - starting with a current vagrant image, just one kernel update resulted in complaints about /boot being too full. Can we consider adding 100MB to the /boot size and changing the installonly_limit
in yum.conf down to perhaps 2 to try to live in a tiny /boot without users needing to work that hard after a simple yum update<br>
<br>
The manual steps in https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/105026 work ok, as one way to work around it manually.<br>

</span></span></span><![endif]>there is no DVD device defined, making it painful to install VirtualBox guest additions. At a minimum the box should have the device defined there so users don't have to work so hard if they update their kernel.<br>
<br>
Possible workarounds including adding a vagrant plugin (https://github.com/dotless-de/vagrant-vbguest) to automate reinstalling the guest additions pretty nicely.<br>
<br>
Other workaround is to manually add the device in your Vagrantfile using vb.customize ala:<o:p></o:p></p>
