  • Verify ISO: Check SHA256 checksum matches
  • Try different boot mode: Legacy BIOS vs UEFI
  • Increase RAM: Minimum 4GB required

QEMU Errors:

# KVM permission denied
sudo chmod 666 /dev/kvm
# OR run without KVM:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom aurora-os.iso -m 4G  # (no -enable-kvm)

# No display
# Use -display gtk or -display sdl
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom aurora-os.iso -m 4G -display gtk

VirtualBox Issues:

  • Enable VT-x/AMD-V in BIOS
  • Install VirtualBox Extension Pack
  • Increase video memory to 128MB
  • Try different graphics controller (VMSVGA)

USB Boot Problems:

  • Disable Secure Boot in BIOS
  • Check boot order in BIOS
  • Try different USB port (USB 2.0 vs 3.0)
  • Re-create bootable USB with different tool

πŸ“– Post-Installation
