Did you find the solution? Even I am facing the same problem

[neoanantha]

Hitting this issue with Openstack AIO installed on CentOS 7.3
KVM has been installed and configured in \etc\nova\nova.conf where virt_type=kvm and cpu_mode=none
Any resolution?

[AJNOURI]

kvm is the default hypervisor for compute, make sure "svm" or "vmx" CPU extensions are present in the compute node.
grep -E 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo
Have you tried other virt_type option ?

virt_type=qemu

[messeiry]

am having the exact same issue, same error and everything, am running RHOS 12 on virtual machines hosted on ESXi. for that i was not expecting the KVM to work. so i deployed with qemu even though the hang is still there !!

[faca5]

Any solutions? Thank you.

I also faced the same problem.
Following report resolved my problem.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1691109

I am using Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS devstack on VMware Fusion. In that environment, as of now, default machine type was specified 'pc-i440fx-artful', so I needed to specify following setting in nova.conf.

[libvirt]
hw_machine_type = x86_64=pc-i440fx-xenial

In my environment, it didn't need to change 'virt_type' from 'kvm' to 'qemu'.
This page's original post is for RHEL/CentOS, so I think it needs to specify proper hw_machine_type string for it.

[Ellison001]

@sagara177. This works for me. Thanks.

[byte-edu]

In My Environment，CentOS 7.6 devstack on VMware WorkStation.

1. First
   [DEFAULT]
compute_driver = libvirt.LibvirtDriver
[libvirt]
virt_type=kvm
cpu_mode=host-passthrough
hw_machine_type = x86_64=pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0

2. Finally
   systemctl restart openstack-nova-compute
