Maybe the image is corrupted?

I'm pretty sure that VirtualBox is not the way to go for embedded Linux - would try it under Qemu instead.

VirtualBox works fine for embedded linux:

His mistake (talked on IRC) was to make an image without LLVMpipe installed

Thanks for everyone to reply.

I installed llvm-dev in my PC and tried to install on Virtual box.
But the result is failure.
I could have installed completely on Virtual box but fail to boot.
I tried to install on qemu , but fail to install.

I checked kickstart file and I found that qemu-arm-static version was checked whether it's version is over 0.14 or not.

Is qemu-arm-static Ver.0.14 needed for making iso file?
