Ventura install VBOX 7.0.97 r163781

Host: iMac 19,1 osx Monterey 40gb 1tb fusion drive
Guest: Ventura

Installed Ventura on VMWare, successfully using createinstallmedia to make an iso file.

Installed it on Virtualbox 7.0.97. Installed, but am in an infinite boot loop due to panic.

Added extradata to the vbox file, where iMac is 19,1, and the Mac-BE088xxx... was replace with my machine data from
sysctl hw.model
and
ioreg -l|grep board-id


<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardSerial" value="Mac-BE088xxxxxxxxxxx"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardVersion" value="Mac-BE088xxxxxxxxxxx"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiBoardProduct" value="Mac-BE088xxxxxxxxxxx"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemProduct" value="iMac18,3"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemVersion" value="1.0"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/TM/TSCMode" value="RealTSCOffset"/>


However, boot loop due to panic continues.

thanks!

AFAIK no Apple user on the Forum has so far claimed any success in virtualising Ventura or any other version still supported by Apple. The consistent failure issues with 'newer' macOS versions seems to date back to Apple's enforced use of it's own Virtualisation Platform API which extends as far back as the Catalina release.

"MacOS X" virtualisation is still classed as experimental in the VirtualBox User Manual and this probably isn't likely to change or improve, given that Apple's own support for the Intel Mac platform is rapidly dying. In terms of the future of Apple support,I suspect that the Development Team's focus of attention will be directed far more towards the future of VirtualBox on macOS/ARM64.

If VMware (Broadcom) Fusion works for you on your Intel Mac, it would probably be better to preserve that for your macOS projects.
