Script completes but image aborts before installation

[comminutus]

When I run the script, I can get all the way to the end of the script, but the image seems to abort before the installation process completes. I can see the two terminal windows pop up and it runs for a bit but eventually the VM closes and the VirtualBox interface shows "Aborted" underneath the VM name ("macOS"). Any tips on how to troubleshoot?

This is probably a CPU compatibility issue, the installer crashes on new-ish (2020 and later) CPUs. If the installer starts reporting progress percentage and then the VM crashes, it's very likely a CPU issue.

The cpu is an Intel Core i5-8500B @ 3.00GHz. Isn't that a fairly common cpu? Output of lscpu:
