Issue with minikube / kvm2

Viewed 1334

I have this issue when running "minikube start --vm-driver kvm2":

E0109 11:23:34.536027 22169 start.go:187] Error starting host: Error starting stopped host: Error creating VM: virError(Code=1, Domain=10, Message='internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2019-01-09 16:23:34.183+0000: Domain id=11 is tainted: host-cpu 2019-01-09T16:23:34.284194Z qemu-kvm: unrecognized feature kvm').

Result of lsmod kvm:

[root@smu-ws ~]# lsmod | grep kvm kvm_intel 225280 0 kvm 647168 1 kvm_intel irqbypass 16384 1 kvm

Result of virt-host-validate, everything PASS except:

QEMU: Checking for device assignment IOMMU support
: WARN (No ACPI DMAR table found, IOMMU either disabled in BIOS or not supported by this hardware platform)

Regards.

I managed to resolve this on RHEL by

$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/minikube
$ sudo rm -rf .minikube/ (from home directory)
$ curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.34.1/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo cp minikube /usr/local/bin/ && rm minikube
$ minikube start --vm-driver kvm2
