Hello,
As the title says, I can not for the life of me get any macOS distribution to boot in VMware. The furthest I got was with macOS Ventura, where I was able to almost finish the install, but when the progress bar is almost at the end, the VM restarts, and I am stuck on a screen where it says, "Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press a key or wait a few seconds to continue start-up.". From there on, the VM is in a boot loop.
I've tried different VMware versions, from v15 to v17, but that didn't change anything. I also configured the .vmx file so that I was able to boot in the first place, as I am running on an AMD processor. I tried different amounts of cores and different sizes of RAM, but nothing worked. I also checked if virtualization is enabled, Task manager says it is.
Any help is much appreciated.
PC-Hardware:
MSI B550 Gaming Plus
AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
16GB Crucial RAM oc to 3500MHz
RTX 3070 8GB Vram
.vmx changes:
