The problem occurs only on CentOS 8 distro converted to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 through official RedHat procedure: convert2rhel
Unfortunately the Provider does not have the installation image of Red Hat 8 but only CentOS, Alma Linux and Rocky Linux.
I then had to install CentOS 8 as it is the only distro officially supported by the convert2rhel command.

WTH are you trying to do!? And, why are you bringing it to us? We have nothing to do with convert2rhel.
There is a converter for converting from CentOS to AlmaLinux or to Rocky. But, if this is a new install, just install the danged OS you want and use the beta Virtualmin 7 installer that I have linked a couple times in the forums. Stop converting your OS. That’s not a useful problem to be solving.
I would like to install Virtualmin on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 as I have a valid license for this operating system.
Unfortunately my provider (kimsufi) does not offer installation images for Red Hat 8.
Even if I wanted to install Virtualmin on Alma Linux 8, I still can’t do it because the stable version 7 of Virtualmin hasn’t been released yet nor is the release times known.
Where it says:
One trick is to use IPMI, available on most servers at OVH and allowing to install an ISO image [1][2]. Since SoYouStart is basically retired OVH hardware, some of their servers now have IPMI as well, and I expect so will Kimsufi over time.
But if IPMI is unavailable (or doesn’t work because of Java shenanigans) and we don’t want to pay for KVM IP, one solution is to boot an ISO image from rescue mode via QEMU KVM.
This should work on both OVH, SoYouStart, and Kimsufi.
Go back to the state you were in when you started this topic. We can do something with that; it’s probably a very simple fix. I’m not going to try to tackle all the other weird problems you’re creating for yourself.
What he is saying is that kimsufi dont provide the RHEL iso, whihc is correct as OVH and SYS dont either. Think he is aware that Alma/Rocky is available via their install image but wants to use RHEL. The link is a reference to how this can be done manually. The convertion he did from CentOS to RHEL didnt work hence he tried from Alma, probably down to lack of understanding but at least he is asking. Yes, other forums elsewhere may be more appropriate to use but nevertheless he is here.
It doesn’t matter. We don’t need to do any of this. If they can start with CentOS and convert to RHEL, they’re done. There’s no need to do anything else to get a RHEL system.
I would like to use RHEL 8 because I have the license, but if I don’t succeed I would be happy to use an equivalent distro.
CentOS 8 that I used until a few months ago is no longer good and so I have only two choices: Alma Linux 8 or Rocky Linux 8.
But the Virtualmin install script, at least stable version 6 doesn’t support any of these.
I can use version 7 RC3 of the Virtualmin installation script but in other posts I have been suggested to wait for the stable version to be released.
So either I go back to CentOS 7 or I solve the problem of installing Virtualmin on RHEL 8 obtained through the conversion procedure from CentOS 8.
