When I followed the steps in https://github.com/ephemery-testnet/ephemery-resources?tab=readme-ov-file#run-a-node with ephemery-142 release, the beacon node failed to start and displayed the following error:

You are using a very old version of Lighthouse. I would try again with the latest stable release.
