    I am trying to install High Sierra 10.13.6 using PD 16.1.1 on a MBP 16 2020 running Catalina 10.15.6. I am following those instructions. Whenever I start the VM (with 4GB RAM) for the first time I get the black apple logo screen with the progress bar and then it stops. The progress bar never makes any progress and it just stalls there forever. The CPU load is shown as 100%. When I try the same with Mojave 10.14.6, I have the same issue.

    The only success I had was to create a VM with Catalina 10.15.6 from the recovery partition. That works like a charm, but does not support legacy 32-bit applications.

    Any idea why it gets stuck at that initial progress bar and what I can do about it?
