I've gone through the troubleshooting section in README. I also haven't seen this problem mentioned in any of the issues.
This is the command that I have been using
docker run -it \
--device /dev/kvm \
-p 50922:10022 \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
-e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" \

Any thoughts?

I just tried Monterey with the same outcome.
sickcodes commentedon Nov 14, 2021
I have experienced this too, and I had to reboot the host. I want to diagnose further
adieyal commentedon Nov 14, 2021
I rebooted and the installation process starts, it now gets stuck just before the installation wizard begins.

Not sure what to try next - I couldn't find a github issue that matches the problem any suggestions for what I should try next?
sickcodes commentedon Nov 14, 2021
I'm uploading and testing all new images today
adieyal commentedon Nov 15, 2021
Quick update - I pulled your most recent Monterey image but the installation stops in the same place.
sickcodes commentedon Nov 15, 2021
Do any other images work?
adieyal commentedon Nov 16, 2021
I just tried the Big Sur image on my AMD cpu and it works fine. I previously couldn't get any of the images working on that machine.
sickcodes commentedon Nov 17, 2021
Alright let me try all of them (full install) takes a while as you can imagine, I would like to get to the bottom of this
adieyal commentedon Nov 18, 2021
Let me know if you need me to test anything.
MikeCoder96 commentedon Nov 19, 2021
I'm experiencing a similar problem. When i start MacOS Base System first time it arrive here:


and restart.
After I get it:
Resetting the NVRAM seem to fix the problem in the last picture and continue to monterey but sometimes I got a reboot when i start erasing disk and sometime I got reboot when start loading the menu.
I have a I7 9750H, and this is the command I use
docker run -it --device /dev/kvm -p 922:10022 -e RAM=8 -e CORES=4 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" -e GENERATE_UNIQUE=true -e AUDIO_DRIVER=alsa -e MASTER_PLIST_URL='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator/master/config-custom.plist' sickcodes/docker-osx:montereyEDIT: Found that only catalina work fine.
sickcodes commentedon Nov 28, 2021
Try this
-e MASTER_PLIST_URL='https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sickcodes/osx-serial-generator/lts/config-custom.plist'This is the previous commit before I synced with Kholia's new plist
I will give it a try right now
MikeCoder96 commentedon Nov 29, 2021
Seem to not boot.

sickcodes commentedon Nov 30, 2021
Reproduced, digging deeper. It was working last night 😂
MikeCoder96 commentedon Dec 1, 2021
https://github.com/reenigneorcim/SurPlus can be this a solution?
Dewald928 commentedon Dec 10, 2021
Mine was working fine with my docker data on the local drive. But then I moved my docker-data to an external drive, then I started getting this issue too.

Im still having this issue, any fixes? Im on ubuntu 22.04, tried ventura, monterrey, no avail. Might try to pre installed catalina but im wanting to run xocde, only a single gpu. Using a lenovo thinkpad t14 gen with amd ryzen 7 pro 4750U. Its using qemu and kvm, how do are you supposed to run virtualbox and why would you be doing so
valimaties commentedon Feb 8, 2024
Awesome, the solution with only one processor worked. Thanks!
Is there a way to use more than one processor? Because it is very laggy!
Oopsys commentedon Feb 9, 2024
Great It works with one CPU
irludure commentedon Feb 27, 2024
@Zts0hg solution worked perfectly for me
awsms commentedon Mar 28, 2024
No one found an alternative to limiting the whole OS to a single CPU core?
JezausTevas commentedon Mar 28, 2024
Nope, does not work with ryzen multithreading
abuu-u commentedon Mar 28, 2024
have you checked this ? worked for me
awsms commentedon Mar 28, 2024
Yep, didn't work unfortunately
abdoulayeba5 commentedon Apr 18, 2024
oh thanks it work for me too
JAicewizard commentedon Jun 1, 2024
Hello @Collin8000 (and others), I have ~the exact same laptop and for me what fixed it was updating bios. I was at 1.05, and updating t0 1.47 fixed this issue for me. I gave up on this docker version long ago, and started trying the one without docker. WIth some more persistence I fixed the issue using just qemu, so im sure it might fix the issue with qemu-in-docker as well.
thegamerguy2021 commentedon Oct 26, 2024
How do u do that?
thegamerguy2021 commentedon Oct 26, 2024
I'm having this same problem on trying to Install macOS Monterey on my brother's HP Envy x360 15-u110dx laptop from 2014 with a Intel Haswell processor.
Any fix?
valimaties commentedon Oct 26, 2024
As I see, your option is already disabled.
thegamerguy2021 commentedon Oct 26, 2024
I got past this error by using boot-arg cpus=1 to make the computer only use one core of processer.
Arcmyx commentedon Dec 17, 2025
I'm installing a Sonoma on VirtualBox and set CPUs to just 1, and it fixed the issue.
