GitHub user wverleger closed a discussion: Almalinux 9.6 - UEFI Secure/Legacy
Boot
Hi,
using: ACS 4.19.3.0
Hypervisor: Alma Linux 9.6
Instance: Ubuntu 24 LTS
I was wondering if there is any limitation with Alma Linux 9.6 and UEFI
Secure/Legacy Boot?
Trying to create/start a VM results in a error message:
**UI**
`
Unable to start a VM [0ac37123-6419-4987-92f8-313077c988c6] due to [Unable to

The same setup using Ubuntu 24 LTS as hypervisors works out of the box.
