Expected behaviour

Prysm not starting cannot connect to geth

/mnt/ssd/prysm/prysm.sh beacon-chain --http-web3provider=/root/.ethereum/geth.ipc --accept-terms-of-use
Should startup

Actual behaviour

Running prysm doesnt run.
/mnt/ssd/prysm/prysm.sh beacon-chain --http-web3provider=/root/.ethereum/geth.ipc --accept-terms-of-use

ERROR powchain: Could not connect to powchain endpoint error=the method net_version does not exist/is not available

Could be similar to ConsenSys-archive/truffle#788 but have added -rpc --rpcapi web3,eth,personal,miner,net,txpool

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Start geth with
/mnt/ssd/go-ethereum/build/bin/geth --syncmode light --cache 1024 --rpc --rpcapi web3,eth,personal,miner,net,txpool --rpcport 8545 --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --ipcpath /root/.ethereum/geth.ipc

Start prysm with:
/mnt/ssd/prysm/prysm.sh beacon-chain --http-web3provider=/root/.ethereum/geth.ipc --accept-terms-of-use

Starting Prysm beacon-chain --http-web3provider=/root/.ethereum/geth.ipc --accept-terms-of-use

Doing some more research I think this is related to OffchainLabs/prysm#8124

rolling back to 1.9.24 worked for me also.
