Hi all, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated

ENV information at first;

PVE 8.0.4
Linux flanker 6.2.16-15-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PMX 6.2.16-15 (2023-09-28T13:53Z) x86_64 GNU/Linux
qemu-efi-aarch64 2022.11-6 all UEFI firmware for 64-bit ARM virtual machines

The ISO for test, [uos-desktop-20-professional-1060-arm64-202309.iso]a kind of linux with GUI desktop much more like Ubuntu/deepin.

Problem1：
For now, i can successfully boot into GRUB menu(controllable，with button up/down)
However, when i get into the installation process（have GUI，usually I can control with my mouse and keyboard according to the experience with X64 version）,
But now, I can't control with my my mouse and keyboard

First guess, probably due to the low efficiency by emulation with X64？I'm afraid not，cuz I keep waiting for hours, still not controllable,(usually when our mouse put on with some options will make it highlight, in this case I dont see this appearance，so I dont think thats cuz by low efficiency, its definitely not controllable! )

Problem2：
About efficiency, which mode is best? physical machine is operated by I9-9900T.
And when I modify the config with file cpu option like "cpu : cortex-a76" it just not work, i check the cmd line(qm showcmd xxx) still using the default mode "cortex-a57", I have to modify the cmdlind manually and boot the VM by shell cmdline, WHY????

config file and cmd line you may check below, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated, if any part make you confused I would like to explan more detail for you
