libvirtError: internal error Cannot find suitable CPU model for given data
I am trying to run a simple instance after a fresh installation of OpenStack. The instance cannot start and in the log I found "libvirtError: internal error Cannot find suitable CPU model for given data". Please help.

Have you enabled virtualization in the BIOS for the chip? What is the actual error message in nova compute when you try to launch an instance? If it has hvm in the TRACE then it may be due to intel VT not being enabled.
