[ROCKY LINUX installation issue on Windows 11 VB 7]

[NicolasB]

Hi,

I just installed VB 7 on a Windows 11 host. Ubuntu was installed fine but no version of Rocky Linux is starting the installation. I am getting a constant checksum error issue, regardless of how many different images/versions I tried (I even checked the checksums of the images and all were matching). On my other PC running Windows 10 and VB 6.1 I could install it without any issue. I tried disabling HyperV (as it seems to have generated similar issues in the past) but it didn't help. Any idea?

Best regards and thanx for your help.
Nico

I'm also facing problems installation RockyLinux on VirtualBox 7.0.4 with the unattended option

I downloaded the version 9.1 and verified the SHA256. It booted the ISO (in a brand new VM) but it didn't go any further. I got this message : " ISOLINUX 6.04 ETCDisolinux: image checksum error, sorry..."
redid a new VM, skipped the unattended option, boots fine, even test the media from the boot menu (before launching the installation. everything is fine!

and

I downloaded the version 8.7 and verified the SHA256. it was worse! Brand new VM, failed right after configuring the VM. Got this message :

Failed to run unattended guest installation.
Unknown guest OS major version '8'.
Result Code:
E_FAIL (0X80004005)

redid a new VM, skipped the unattended option, boots fine, even test the media from the boot menu (before launching the installation. everything is fine!

8.6 works likes a charm both ways!

the ostype that gets auto-detected in every case is Red Hat (64-bit)

I know I was saying earlier that 8.6 was working but I`ve since tested it on 7.0.4/7.0.6 and it did not work in unattended mode... this is clearly a regression
