Hi, I have my test on Friday.. Does that mean I have to wait until I receive an email to dowload the ISO?

Thannks!

Hello,

You must receive the exam confirmation email at your registered email address.

The subject of the email says "Your Red Hat Individual Exam Reservation Has Been Confirmed"

However, Sharing the remote exam preparation e-book link which has steps to follow and the ISO to download.

Hi,

This may be compatibility issue related to your computer security settings in BIOS, namely Secure Boot. In some systems "Secure Boot" is enabled by default, you can try another version of ISO (old ISO) or find another system in which secure boot is disabled.

I tried many times and then I found the same solution.

Disabling secure boot solved the issue.

Hi,

Anyone tried macbook pro M1? will the exam iso work on it?

[arbhati]

Tried it a couple of months back with my M1 but it did not worked. The ISO is not campatible I think !

If you read the pdf manual, page 3, the first system requirement:
"Computer: You will need a computer with a single active monitor. Red Hat supports many Intel-compatible X86_64-bit architecture computers"
Apple M1 CPU has ARM architecture, not x86 as required. So it is obvious it not matching the requirements so it cannot work.

Macbooks even with Intel seems not supported. I was able to boot up a ubuntu from an external key but not the rhexboot iso
