Have the same issue. Tried all images and here what ive got.

Latest working is HEAD-ec954e but arg --genesis-time-delay is missing. All images after local-devnet will segfault. Here what i make to start this compose:

  create-beacon-chain-genesis:
    image: "gcr.io/prysmaticlabs/prysm/cmd/prysmctl:HEAD-ec954e"
    command:
      - testnet
      - generate-genesis
      - --fork=capella
      - --num-validators=64
      #- --genesis-time-delay=15
      - --output-ssz=/consensus/genesis.ssz
      - --chain-config-file=/consensus/config.yml
      - --geth-genesis-json-in=/execution/genesis.json
      - --geth-genesis-json-out=/execution/genesis.json
    volumes:
      - ./consensus:/consensus
      - ./execution:/execution

Incredible. Thanks for taking the effort of going through all images. Cheers, my network is up.

This issue still exists. Perhaps we should keep it open? Using an old build should not be the final solution.

[dewindtk]

I agree. Also there are a lott of things out of date in this tutorial. I request for an update!

I've made my own version which doesn't rely on docker, as I prefer using local versions I can quickly modify. It also allows you to run multiple nodes and uses the correct repo versions. You may find it useful
