Hi everyone,
I’m looking to try out the aarch64 Rocky 9 VirtualBox Vagrant box on my apple silicon mac. I’ve set up a sample Vagrantfile to use this box as follows:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "rockylinux/9"
config.vm.box_url = "https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/images/aarch64/Rocky-9-Vagrant-Vbox-9.5-20241118.0.aarch64.box"
end
However, when I attempt to bring this box up with vagrant up --provision, then I encounter the following error:
% vagrant up --provision
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Box 'rockylinux/9' could not be found. Attempting to find and install...

There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
Command: ["startvm", "0b921eca-cc2a-41aa-ae99-897100e47279", "--type", "headless"]
Stderr: VBoxManage: error: The VM session was aborted
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component SessionMachine, interface ISession
If I open VirtualBox and attempt to start this VM directly from the GUI, then I get the following error:
Callee RC:
VBOX_E_PLATFORM_ARCH_NOT_SUPPORTED (0x80bb0012)
I notice that the VM created by vagrant also has a little ‘x64’ badge in the VirtualBox GUI:
whereas an arm VM I created manually in VirtualBox to install Rocky 9 from the aarch64 .iso has an ‘A64’ badge instead. This manually created VM was able to boot from the .iso without any issues.
Would anyone be able to provide any help with this issue? Many thanks!
