@murphye from the logs it seems you are trying to start an existing crc instance, if you can afford to lose it, could you please try to cleanup and then start again from a clean env, that might fix the issue for you..

$ crc cleanup 
$ crc setup
$ crc start

[murphye]

Yes that resolved the issue. Thanks.

It would be good to have error handling to prevent this scenario, whatever caused it.
