Environment:

• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): macOS 10.12.6 (16G29)
• VM Driver (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep DriverName): "DriverName": "vmwarefusion"
• ISO version (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep -i ISO or minikube ssh cat /etc/VERSION):

What happened:
After first install vm boots completely and kubectl is registered and works with no issues. After a successful minikube stop, after trying to start again, the VM will stop at asking for login. The terminal shows as follows:
`➜ minikube start --vm-driver=vmwarefusion
Starting local Kubernetes v1.7.0 cluster...
Starting VM...
E0816 09:00:48.144984 11457 start.go:129] Error starting host: Temporary Error: Error configuring auth on host: Too many retries waiting for SSH to be available. Last error: Maximum number of retries (60) exceeded.

Retrying.`

What you expected to happen:
minikube vm auto logs in and SSH tunnel is established
How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

Output of minikube logs (if applicable):

Anything else do we need to know:
If I delete the ~/.minikube directory and delete the vm manually from VMware fusion, I can launch again with no issues, just first run.
