Probably related: #5780

Do you mind sharing the output of hyperkit -version and ls -la /usr/local/bin/hyperkit?

My bet is that upgrading to the latest of whatever installed hyperkit (Docker or homebrew) will fix this.

I reinstalled hyperkit and It worked. Thanks

Great news. Thank you for the update!

seems like although latest version is installed, minikube is still using an old one?

I had the same issues on Mac OS, though resolved it by simply updating Docker (since I had skipped multiple updates in the past).

This is still an issue. OS: Mac Sonoma. Uninstalled/reinstalled hyperkit: crash. Restart system: crash.

We can use the default Docker driver for Minikube on macOS Apple Silicon chips. To do this, we need to install the arm64 version of Minikube and start it with the default Docker driver.

1. First uninstall the existing Minikube setup by executing
   brew uninstall minikube

2. Remove the ".minikube" directory:
   rm -rf ~/.minikube

3. Install the arm64 version of Minikube:
   curl -LO https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/latest/download/minikube-darwin-arm64 && sudo install minikube-darwin-arm64 /usr/local/bin/minikube

4. Run Minikube:
   minikube start --driver=docker

The above setup works on macOS Sequoia Version 15.0.1, Apple M2 Chip.
