   - It's not all certain that it could work in such environments (VMware workstation + EVE-NG) ; you could try another ISE version
     as mentioned in howto link that you provided

Hello,

Thanks for your reactivity, I tried with the three versions:
ise-2.7.0.356.SPA.x86_64.iso
ise-3.0.0.458.SPA.x86_64.iso
ise-3.3.0.430.SPA.x86_64.iso
but still i got the same problem

  -  You could try to post in https://www.eve-ng.net/forum/   mind you eve-ng is only an emulator , not
      everything they say 'may work' (e.g.).   Or there could be dependencies on your current system such as sufficient
     support                                                           for virtualization or other needed resources ,

ISE will run under EVE-NG. But since ISE will require QEMU to run under KVM, your hard disk for ISE must be a .qcow2 - and you need at least a .qcow2 file that can grow to 300GB. Search the web for "empty" qcow2 template files and load those into the EVE-NG definition for ISE. For ISE 3.2 you can choose UEFI BIOS with SecureBoot off. Make the disk and network use virtio.  Job done.

I know this is old but did you ever figure out what was wrong? I am having the exact same issue which is weird because I've installed ISE successfully before on eve-ng.

Unlikely to get updates on old posts ..

Thanks. I figured it out not too long after this post. As much as I had convinced myself that I had followed the Eve documentation to the 'T', I missed a crucial step. Once I corrected that, it worked.
