I have the same also with M1 at Sonoma 14.1.2.
The previous versions have been installed without issues:
~ asdf list elixir
*1.15.6-otp-25
1.16.0-otp-25
But when trying to install 26.2.1 it fails:
asdf install erlang 26.2.1
asdf_26.2.1 is not a kerl-managed Erlang/OTP installation
The asdf_26.2.1 build has been deleted

I tried to apply this fix using KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS , but still no success.
I also tried to set these options from the CLI in the Terminal before installing Erlang 26:
export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--disable-debug --disable-silent-rules --enable-dynamic-ssl-lib --enable-gettimeofday-as-os-system-time --enable-kernel-poll --without-javac --without-wx --without-odbc"
...
asdf install erlang 26.2.1
but it failed again :(.
Rather than spend time trying to figure out what went wrong and if it’s related to asdf-erlang or the wiring between asdf-erlang and kerl, now I just use kerl and want to point out that’s an option to others.
