Someone else made a similar thread but he used the --force flag.  I'm not using --force but receiving the following error:

I didn't put the "The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well" - looks like a rule that auto appends

Remove POCL, install ROCM, install OPENCL DRIVERS for your AMD CPU. Everything is detailed on the homepage. Also note, using Hashcat on a VM makes things even more complicated in getting things to work.

Thanks for the reply - yea, I was reading about the VM issues - Being a beginner is tough and I appreciate you sharing insight/knowledge.  Even though its on the homepage a point in the right direction is great! ty ty

Using Hashcat on a VM with your AMD CPU, you just need to install POCL by using the following command : "sudo apt install pocl-opencl-icd". It works just fine!!
