Cisco Image not booting

[kaywhyelee]

Hello folks. I use GNS3 on MacOS but there is some training that uses EVE-NG that I would like to participate in. I followed David Bomballs installation for the community edition. Everything works fine up until I start the Cisco router. It takes me to a new tab and I see the cursor in the corner but it never boots. Just sits there. I verified vx-t is enabled in VMWARE Fusion but I do not know of a way to confirm it is enabled on my Macbook. I imagine there is an easy fix because others have made it work but I am at a loss. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

If your MAC is in supported list, then next is badly prepared image

Thanks for that. My mac is supported. Macbook Pro 2020 i5 16 GB. VMWare Fusion Pro. Using this image: vios-adventerprisek9-m.vmdk.SPA.156-2.T that I formatted per EVE-NG cookbook. This is my first time so I may have done it wrong. How do I verify?

Is your MAC running Big Sur?
