CentOS 8.5 - VBox 6.1.30 - FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.

Post by serkankas » 2021/12/02 10:03:08

Hi Folks,

I am trying to install CentOS 8.5 in my Virtualbox however, I couldn't do it within 2 days. Clearly, I miss something.

Here is how I tried to setted up everything.

CentOS-8.5.2111-aarch64-dvd1.iso → ISO file
Create a Virtual machine with:
* 64MB video Ram
* 4 Processors
* 6144 MB Ram
* 30 GB HDD

I am using Oracle VM VirtualBox v.6.1.30

When I try to boot it up, it is said that FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted.
The storage devices are like in below:

The boot order is like in below:

Does anybody have any idea or solution? Because I looked some solution and it is not working for me so far...

CentOS-8.5.2111-aarch64-dvd1.iso
And you have an arm 64 bit processor? If you're on an Intel compatible machine then that's the wrong iso image file, you want the one with x86_64 in its name.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
