It’s unfortunately not possible right now. The aarch64 kernel assumes a 64k page size that is NOT supported on M1 macs. M1 page size is 4k or 16k. EL9 should work on M1. ---

I also face the same issue on my M1 2020. When I run “Install Rocky Linux 8”, I keep getting redirected to the main menu of installation. ---

EL8 aarch64 does not work on M1. You will have to wait for EL9, for SIG/kernel to produce a suitable kernel for you, or elrepo to perhaps provide a variant. ---
