Indefinite hang on macOS ARM when running podman run --platform linux/amd64 -it fedora sh #27817
Description
Issue Description
Hang with podman 5.7.1 on Apple ARM/M2 Pro running macOS Tahoe 26.1 when running the AMD64 Fedora image and trying to start a shell:
$ podman run --rm --platform linux/amd64 -it fedora sh
Ctrl^C doesn't work and I have to kill it:
$ podman ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
ce488635826c registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:latest sh 53 seconds ago Up 54 seconds objective_black
$ podman kill ce488635826c
ce488635826c
However, running the uname command works fine:
$ podman run --rm --platform linux/amd64 -it fedora uname -m
x86_64
On the native ARM platform things work fine:
$ podman run --rm --platform linux/arm64 -it fedora sh
sh-5.3#
I recreated the podman machine without luck and also tried export CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER=applehv (recreated the machine), neither of which helped.
Other AMD64 images work fine and I can start a shell, so it seems to be something about the Fedora image:
$ podman run --rm --platform linux/amd64 -it icr.io/appcafe/ibm-semeru-runtimes:certified-21-jdk-ubi sh
sh-4.4$
