Docker buildx qemu: uncaught target signal 7 (Bus error) – core dumped
Question:
I want to build a multi-platform image of a little python app on my Windows 11 PC. I am running Docker Desktop 4.10.1 (82475) and the commands in Windows PowerShell. I have no idea what this error means or why it is crashing or just not running there in an endless loop. I cannot find anything about target signal 7 on the internet which is weird.
Does anybody have an idea?
docker buildx ls shows me:

Answers:
I guess I can answer the question myself. On my main PC with Windows 11 it worked without a problem. So it makes sense that my ARM device can only build an image for arm64 and not also for amd64 as the PC can.
Rookie mistake I guess.
TL;DR: I restarted my Docker Desktop Host machine and it was fixed (maybe restarting all docker-related services would have fixed it also).
I just now had the exact same problem, i ran a multiplatform build using a custom qemu builder instance on my windows machine. I was building for linux/arm64,linux/amd64,linux/arm/v6,linux/arm/v7 which my builder was compatible with. At the first Dockerfile instruction (apart from WORKDIR/FROM) the builder failed with the error: failed to solve: process "..." exit code 135 and that qemu got an unexpected signal 7. Seems like somehow my running instance of builder was corrupted and a restart fixed the issue.
