I try to install Redcore linux hardened 2102 on VirtualBox.
I waited around 10 minutes and is not continue.
Always is stuck at "Starting version 249", at the phase that is before starting the Redcore installer.
I allocated 50 GB VM hard disk, 6500 MB of RAM and 3 cores for the VM and 128 MB for video card.
I tried with and without 3D acceleration.
VirtualBox is version 6.1.30
It`s incompatible with VirtualBox?
Will work with Vmware workstation player 16?
PS: On VMware workstation player 16 is stuck at the same phase.
Thanks!

I am aware things are wonky sometimes in virtual environment, but it feels like a hit and miss. Sometimes won't boot, sometimes it will without changing anything in the Virtual Machine's configuration. But will do some investigations to see which configurations produce more hits.

If your host OS is some Linux, you can use qemu.
I am using it with virt-manager, but other GUI frontends are available too (aqemu and so on)
It works like a charm with redcore using the QXL Video driver.
(after install, you may want to install also spice-vdagent to enable display autoscale)
If your OS is Windos .. you can try vmware something but I doubt it will work as expected (vmware has also some creepy drivers)
In VirtualBox, you can try also to change the display driver under Settins > Display > Graphics Controller (VboxSVGA vs VmSVGA).
Not sure which one will perform better but this is how I managed in the past to get over the install.

Thanks Bionel changing the graphic controller helped me finish the installation. Trying it out to see how it goes.
