podman start stuck on "Waiting for VM..."

on mac m2 max, I installed podman using brew intsall podman, then ran podman machine init --disk-size 150, and then podman start. It's stuck on "Waiting for VM ...". I see this error from qemu: Synchronous Exception at 0x00000000BC562000

Solution

  • move to qemu version 8.1 until there's a fix. how to install version 8.1: nelson.cloud/how-to-install-older-versions-of-homebrew-packages
