Steps to reproduce

1. crc setup
2. crc start --log-level debug

Expected

VM created and ready to be used

Actual

The CRC VM is not created at all. It does try 60 times then it exits but the error is not really helpful. I currently have no clue what could be the issue. I am trying to install this on a RHEL 8.6 VM created via VMWare. I see a “handshake failed” error when executing CRC status but I do not know if it is relevant since the VM is not created.

Logs

Before gather the logs try following if that fix your issue

$ crc delete -f
$ crc cleanup
$ crc setup
$ crc start --log-level debug

I did those steps after the first failed attempt and it gives the same results.

Please consider posting the output of crc start --log-level debug on http://gist.github.com/ and post the link in the issue.
