As far as I know, EVE-NG and GNS3 only work on Intel Macs. The VMs require Intel hardware, and their developers have not released a version that runs on ARM architecture CPUs like Apple Silicon.

if I remember prior research on this, they both also require nested virtualization, which is not supported by Apple on macOS’s hypervisor on Apple Silicon and is not available for Fusion. 

You will have to take it up with their developers as to when and if they are going to provide a version that works on Apple Silicon Macs. 

Same error here, but trying to get packer 1.9.4 & VMware fusion 13.5. on Apple M1 Silicon to build a debian 12.2 (arm64) VM.

Packer VMware plugin version: "packer-plugin-vmware_v1.0.10_x5.0_darwin_arm64"

When manually starting up, I have no problems at all. Packer fails with the error: "

"The device type "lsilogic" specified for "scsi0" is not supported by VMware Fusion 13.5.0."

Please look into this. Thanks in advance. 

Believe the error message and reference https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/90364

Whatever you are doing with Packer to create the VM is specifying a lsiogic virtual SCSI adapter type that is not implemented by Fusion on Apple Silicon. It appears that only VMware’s pvscsi is implemented for virtual SCSI hard disk controllers.

Change what you are doing to specify a NVMe hard disk type. That is the recommended disk type for virtual machines on Apple Silicon Macs and is supported by Debian. Debian does not look like they include the pvscsi driver submitted by VMware to the upstream Linux kernel and Fusion doesn’t support anything other than pvscsi.
