I came to the same error using Antergos Linux and what I had to do was make sure that virtualbox was setup/configured correctly. I thought because I had installed it via pamac that the package was already setup, but I had to go to the docs to find out that I still needed to install linux-headers ( I am using linux kernel and not linux-lts) using command 1. yay linux-headers, I had to make sure to load modules that are used by VirtualBox by doing 2. sudo rcvboxdrv then sudo systemctl start systemd-modules-load.service, and finally 3. minikube start -p vb --vm-driver=virtualbox

It's VM issue. Solution:

After installation, try virtualbox cmd, if no issues, then you should be good to minikube start
