change EFI to UEFI in firmware and see if that helps

[Snímka obrazovky 2024-05-09 o 22.12.07] there is no option for UEFI in VM-Ware

when you make a new VM are you then able to chooce if it should be BIOS or UEFI in the configuration?

no I have only those two options at all

okay, have you then tried the BIOS option?

yes of course :slight_smile: I tried to convert to iso via different tools on the mac via DiskUtility and on linux via gcdemu , iat and ccd2is

hmm okay, i used the Balena software to make a bootable USB and then booted my VM from the USB. Are you trying to boot directly from the ISO like with a windows ISO?
