Description
**I searched both GitHub and multiple web searches. If you find a link to a solution, please let me know.
**Describe the issue**
Clean install of Cisco CSR1000v ISO. This is a "unix" intel based VM. Hard drive is 8G, memory is 4K, Cores = 2, Forced
Initial GRUB menu is shown, followed by the image validation process which passes.

Once the install starts:
- PC Q35 fails after validation page, reboots directly to GRUB
- PC i44FX fails after validation page, displays kernel panic, then reboots to GRUB
I read on another thread Multicore was needed, but it did not seem to make a difference.
**Configuration**
* UTM Version: 4.5.4 (100) - From Apple Store
* macOS Version: 15.1 (24B83)
* Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): Apple M1 Max

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached debug.log, crash log, and config.plist.zip, then reproduce the CSR1000v installation with the listed UTM and macOS versions. Done would require a reproducible diagnosis of the QEMU kernel panic or reboot and a validated fix or workaround.
