I'm having the same problems on my new MacBook Air 2022 M2 running ventura 13.1. No matter which virtualisation tool I use (UTM, tart), as long as I use Virtualization.Framework I keep getting these kernel oops Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address early during installation of Ubuntu. It's very consistent and usually happens after a few seconds or minutes after the installation process starts (writing data to drive). A few times, however, the VM just freezes before even starting installation, (without any kernel message). I tried with multiple versions of ubuntu 20.4, 22.04, 22.10 and 23 - all the same. I tried graphical ubuntu desktop installer and console based ubuntu server installer. However if I boot the live desktop ubuntu and surf the web or use other apps, it hasn't yet Oopsed on me yet. But once I start the installation process, it Oopses, so it seems to be related to writing data to the drive. If I choose a different file system, like ZFS or BTRFS, it happens more rarely, and I was even able to perform a couple of full installations (but sometimes also that crashed). Because this exact same thing happens not only with one Virtualization.Framework-based tool, but apparently with all of them, it leads me to believe the problem lies within the Virtualization.Framework. I've tried also removing all kernel extensions in MacOS, removing all /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools and rebooting - No difference.
