Minikube complains that VT-X/AMD-v is disabled in BIOS which is clearly wrong.

[aes]

I can run a virtualbox using the GUI just fine, but minikube complains that VT-X/AMD-v is disabled in BIOS which is clearly wrong. (Maybe there's some other good reason it can't run, but I wouldn't know, I get this message instead.)

• run minikube start
• output:

😄 minikube v0.34.1 on linux (amd64)
🔥 Creating virtualbox VM (CPUs=2, Memory=2048MB, Disk=20000MB) ...
💣 Unable to start VM: create: precreate: This computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory

😿 Sorry that minikube crashed. If this was unexpected, we would love to hear from you:

If you happen to have a AMD CPU, this issue is a duplicate of #3706

Alos fixed in v0.35.0.

This is also happening to me (Windows 10 Home, VirtualBox, Intel i7-9750H). Checked BIOS and VT-X is definately enabled.
