@cmoulliard Issue you are facing because when you restart minishift you have to use same parameters which you used for first time start you will not hit this issue if you execute below. Also you will not see pulling image during restart.

$ minishift start --openshift-version=v1.4.0 --memory=4000 --vm-driver=virtualbox
$ minishift stop
$ minishift start --openshift-version=v1.4.0 --memory=4000 --vm-driver=virtualbox
