@medyagh so, after git bisecting everything, including the disk image (thanks, contributor documentation!), I just couldn’t find a bad commit! It turns out there was something weird with the 1.3.0 ISO in my disk. Apparently, the cached ISO was corrupt. I cleaned the cache and voi la! It works again!

I’m closing this. Thanks, guys.

Update: got the virt-host-validate to pass by adding the user to group kvm. Minikube, however, still fails.

When I have the time to do so, I will git bisect this.

Got it. I will provide the requested data tomorrow.

Thanks!
