Description

What Happened?

In the interest of re-enabling the vmware driver for the mac m1 platform, I have tried (manually) booting the minikube arm iso on vmware fusion. it will not boot.

dmesg screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/SWHiRHX dmesg output is only available after removing the console=ttyAMA0 from the boot command line

note that this may also be the reason parallels fails to run, can't say as my parallels trial expired
