Does it could run Centos Image with Arm64 ?

[Febregaz]

I use the Centos Image file and This is my error : VM start error: Error Domain=VZErrorDomain Code=1 "The virtual machine failed to start." UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailure=Internal Virtualization error., NSLocalizedFailureReason=The virtual machine failed to start.}

Downloaded https://cloud.debian.org/images/cloud/bullseye/latest/debian-11-generic-arm64.tar.xz, mounted it on a linux to get vmlinuz/initrd files, then:

And another terminal with minicom -D /dev/ttys015 shows the guest console

The issue was.... vftool binary arch:
