I have installed RockyLinux 9.3 on VirtualBox 7.0.14 and use it as base image, My Base OS is windows 11. My installation worked fine, but whenever i create full clone and try to boot it, the full clone image gave error screen but when i build linked clone and try to boot it , the linked clone image worked fine and booted successfully. I tried with different Linux distro iso (Fedora and ubuntu ) but all worked as expected with both option (viz full clone and linked clone ) . I’m getting same error with VMware workstation , so i think Rocky Linux 9 image behave differently but i am unable to understand why and how to revert its behaviour like fedora and ubuntu ISO.

You may have moved on from this issue. I just found it via search. See my report of the same issue and a workaround I found for it: > [@9.2 system update corrupts running Rocky LInux under VirtualBox 7.0.6](https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/9-2-system-update-corrupts-running-rocky-linux-under-virtualbox-7-0-6/11269): > > I installed a prebuilt VM for Rocky Linux I obtained from [Linux VM Images](https://www.linuxvmimages.com/) on VirtualBox 7.0.6 running under Windows 7 64-bit. I’ve had Ubuntu running on this setup for a decade without issue, currently 23.04… The RL VM starts up fine and seems fully functional. I can shut it down and restart it without error. However, if the system detects updates are available, and I allow it to install them, then upon reboot the system appears to be corrupted. Fortunately, I had taken a backup before I up… ---
