Cannot install Fedora 32 as a guest on MacBook Pro 13 2020 with macOS Catalina

After creating the the virtual machine, the machine started show the initial dialog(grub 2) when installing the Fedora 32 on a new system(figure1 in attachments). After selecting the option Starting Fedora-Workstation-Live 32 the screen turn black with a blinking cursor and nothing happened(figure 2).

I would like to ask how to proceed to correctly start the VM or how to fix it?

Well an update, I edited the boot kernel params and remove the quite option. It stays at line "clocksource: Swithced to clocksource tsc-early" which seems that the kernel have problem reading the clock of the CPU. Have any ideas ho to fix it?
