Stuck on boot

[filiptronicek]

I went through all the steps in the README and installed Catalina on my created Disk, but when trying to boot into it it gets stuck on this message:

imageboot_setup_new: successfully authenticated /macOS Install Data/BaseSystem.dmg

I am facing this issue, as well.

I'm having this issue with Mojave.

[jiesquivele]

Were you guys able to fix it? I had the same issue, but was able to fix it changing VirtualBox Settings > System >Processor and swipping from 1 CPU to 2 CPU.

[Destroyer8424]

I have had this exact same issue with Mojave and Catalina. I tried changing the amount of processors but I still get stuck in the same place (currently have 4 processors enabled for virtualbox). Any suggestions?

Running: HEADLESS=1 MEM=6G CPUS=4 SYSTEM_DISK=MyDisk.qcow2 ./headless.sh

Instead of: HEADLESS=1 MEM=1G CPUS=2 SYSTEM_DISK=MyDisk.qcow2 ./headless.sh

Seemed to do the trick for me

Still having this problem on Mojave with 4 CPUs enabled.

Never mind, I'm a silly goose. Gave my virtual system more RAM (went from 1 to 2 GB) and it worked :) So @FlorisHendriks98 was on the right track... seems like this not-booting error occurs when the virtual system is beneath the required Mojave/Catalina minimum system requirements.

Try doing Cpu at 3 and increase memory around 4000 or higher and if stuck again then restart it again it worked for me

setting 2GB ram works!!
