redhat aarch64 version 8.,6 and 9.0 not installing

Hello I downloaded and installed VMwarevFusion Tech Preview for my M1 Pro Mac.

I downloaded Redhat 9.0 and 8.6 aarch dvd  iso. files and neither install. Am I suppose to select other Linux 5.x?

 

thank you

All of this is discussed in the unofficial Tips and Techniques document. Please take a look there. 

Short version (long versions are in ithe document)

  • RHEL 7.x and 8.x aarch64 releases are incompatible with Apple Silicon. There is nothing you can do to work around this. RHEL 9 fixes this incompatibility. 
  • RHEL 9 will run but requires a workaround. See the unofficial Tips and Techniques document for a procedure to get it working.
