minikube start fails on ppc64le ubuntu 22.04

What Happened?

root@dotnet-ubuntu-2204-2:~# minikube start --driver=docker --force

• minikube v1.33.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 (ppc64le)
  ! minikube skips various validations when --force is supplied; this may lead to unexpected behavior
• Using the docker driver based on user configuration
• The "docker" driver should not be used with root privileges. If you wish to continue as root, use --force.
• If you are running minikube within a VM, consider using --driver=none:
• https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/reference/drivers/none/
• Using Docker driver with root privileges
• Starting "minikube" primary control-plane node in "minikube" cluster
• Pulling base image v0.0.43 ...
• Creating docker container (CPUs=2, Memory=4000MB) ...

I updated kicbase dockerfile with below patch and built image on power vm. Used locally build base image using command minikube start --driver=docker --base-image=local/kicbase:latest --force then above issue get fixed.
