podman machine start command failing

[paraggit]

Hi,

I have installed Podman on macOS Ventura 13.5.1, M2 max configuration. I am encountering an issue with the podman machine start command; the command is failing with the following error.

> podman machine start
Starting machine "podman-machine-default"
Waiting for VM ...
Error: EOF

Here are the packages version info.

> podman -v
podman version 4.6.2

> qemu-system-x86_64 --version
QEMU emulator version 8.1.0

I have attempted to use podman machine init with increased CPU and memory values, but I am still encountering the same error. Please let me know if i missed anything in configuration.

Thanks in Advance.
