Hey did you fix it? I'm encountering the same problem. Any pointers would be great! Thanks

Ah I fixed it by changing /etc/nova/nova-compute.conf libvirt_type=qemu and installing nova-compute-qemu package instead of nova-compute-kvm.

libvirtError: internal error no supported architecture for os type 'hvm'

I counter the same problem, turned out I didn't enable VT on motherboard.
