Hi @mallorih thanks for sharing the logs :) you said you are using docker driver but the logs shows you are trying hyperkit on arm64 and then minikube tries to do "qemu driver"

looking through your logs, I noticed this warning

W0517 12:53:30.326118   10556 out.go:239] ❗  Image was not built for the current minikube version. To resolve this you can delete and recreate your minikube cluster using the latest images. Expected minikube version: v1.33.0 -> Actual minikube version: v1.33.1

that means you updated minikube but didnt delete the old one so it is still using the Old ISO, which might be okay but better to delete the old one and start a fresh one.

and since you are on arm64 you might want to either use Qemu or Docker driver,
if you want to use the docker driver, make sure your docker desktop is running
and if you are using qemu make sure to have installed the network requirement

this seems related to #18915 users running qemu without dedicated network face that issue
