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.
