Could you share the output of:

grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo

Also, what release of VirtualBox are you on?

I suspect that it may be necessary for you to enable virtualization in your BIOS. There are however some other possibilities: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33304393/vt-x-is-disabled-in-the-bios-for-both-all-cpu-modes-verr-vmx-msr-all-vmx-disabl

I'm closing this issue as it hasn't seen activity in awhile, and it's unclear if this issue still exists. If this issue does continue to exist in the most recent release of minikube, please feel free to re-open it.

Thank you for opening the issue!
