Alert this error when installing monterey about 30 minutes, i'm finded one problem, system date reduced by 8 hours, so i'm used date command to fix it,However, this error is still displayed when reinstalling， now,i'm go to terminal and input date command, the system date reduced by 8 hours. i'm try to modify clock parameter in vm xml: like this: `

<timer name='pit' tickpolicy='delay'/>
<timer name='hpet' present='no'/>
<timer name='tsc' present='yes' mode='native'/>

` this parameter operative in custom vm, not in the Macinabox generate vm.

Error by version, if you change machine type to q35-6.2, you can change the system date,but still unable to install. you can try to install big sur version, because I've already installed it.

I think it's an error with the install image created. Nothing I did would fix it. I spent two days trying. After a while I used the SAME VM but overwrote the Monterey_Install.img with one I created myself in MacOS and now it's installing fine.
