So, I tried to install whonix for KVM, and the gateway works just fine. However, the workstation didn’t work. I tried reinstalling from scratch because maybe I messed something up while installing, but i got the same problem.
My error messages are something like:
[ 0.{number}] sgx: There are 0 EPC sections

That sounds like disk corruption to me. Are you sure your download is legitimate and unmodified? Are you sure your laptop’s disk is functioning properly? I’ve created functional VMs using the 17.4.4.6 KVM image, so I think the image itself probably isn’t the problem.
I went back to windows and the PGP signature was fine. I think I know what was wrong now; I’m booting from a USB drive, I messed up when actually installing Kicksecure to the USB I think. That also explains why I get error messages whenever I boot up. I have a old, small USB that I used to install Kicksecure to my good USB. Is there a way to verify that the OS was flashed to the small USB correctly? I might just install it to my SSD.
