Minikube Image Load process is killed without loading docker image

[lucian-cap]

What Happened?

Executing the minikube image load command to load a locally built image into the container runtime in the cluster leads to the process being killed. The container is quite large (16.2GB) but if I use the Docker daemon in the minikube cluster via eval $(minikube docker-env) and build the images then everything works just fine.

I am running Windows 11 with WSL2 (Ubuntu 22.04), using Docker Engine installed in WSL,

Try saving the image to a file first (docker save), there are some issues with creating the tarball with minikube.
