I am having the same problem just trying to get the ALMALinux-9.3 OS to install. Were you able to make any progress with this?

I am halted before I can get to the GUI Installer screen to select HDD target, Root password, which OS package cluster, Time Details, etc… etc…

Is the problem the 16MB limitation on the virtual chassis’ video card?
