Windows 10. Using VirtualBox 7.0.8 GNS3 VM and GNS3 2.2.40.1. Current GNS3 VM configuration:

This particular loop is caused after launching MikroTik CHR template:

Edit: I changed Configure template > HDD tab > Disk interface: virtio to IDE, but it also had no effect. The boot loop continued.

Which Qemu template?

[rudolphos]

MikroTik CHR 7.8 (chr-7.8.img)

I have updated our appliance file to include v7.10.1 and I had no issues booting this version.

I haven't tried with the VM though, my Qemu version is 6.2.0 and the VM is 4.2.1

Tried on the VM, version 7.10.1 worked.

I have added an option to install Qemu v7.0 from the menu (you must upgrade the GNS3 VM first).

Please backup your VM first, I don't know if installing Qemu from the Canonical Server Team Backports (https://launchpad.net/~canonical-server/+archive/ubuntu/server-backports/?field.series_filter=focal) may break something.
