beta7 installer
I'm using the Netgate installer here https://shop.netgate.com/products/netgate-installer
with the installation image set to AMD64 ISO IPMI/Virtual Machines -
Thank you very much @stephenw10

How is the VM configured you're trying to install on? Drive type etc?
What VBox version?
Does it succeed if you warm reboot and try again?
The issue we hit with this before was that the VM cold boots with no system time and then updates it with ntp during the installer process. -
Hi,
I ran into the same problem on a Mac running VMWare Fusion with Installer beta7. WAN network interface has direct access to the Mac network card, LAN is a private vmware network on the machine. Installation went through after I didn´t setup the LAN interface during the installation. The installer told me that it will only setup a WAN interface but no LAN. To my surprise after the first boot the LAN interface was configured with the pfsense default settings a.k.a. IP 192.168.1.1 and so on.
Hope that helps and thanks for all your great work!Mike

Hmm, that seems more like a subnet conflict. It showed the same eligibility check error?
-
Yes. The LAN interface is „connected“ to a virtual network created by Fusion exclusively on my Mac and no other virtual machines were running and my local hardware network is not 192.168.1.0/24. Maybe the installer couldn´t get the state of the LAN interface? WAN was working fine.

Did it work after warm rebooting? If so that's probably the same system time / cert error.
-
I can´t tell you for shure but I´m pretty certan a powered off the machine with ‚halt -p‘ because my first idea was to just delete the LAN interface because i only needed the WAN interface for some tests.

Hey guys, I came across this post when i was facing the same issue few days ago.
Decided to just download 2.6 CE, and by using the upgrade utility from the web configurator, it upgraded to 2.7 and gave no "Cannot verify the eligibility of system" anymore.
In my case I'm using an Arch Linux with KVM.
In the web configurator, on the top, go to System -> Update -> And select the desired version to upgrade.
It will automaticly reboot and do the whole process.

That's a different issue to the problem the installer in VBox. Though the error message may be similar.
