Research direction

Start with the getting-started/k8s example and the Linkerd pod log showing the exec format error, then reproduce the deployment on minikube. Done means identifying the cause of the Error state and making the example's Linkerd pods start successfully on that setup.

Description

Hi!

I'm following the example from getting-started/k8s, but pods in Error state after applying the linkerd configmap.

The linkerd pod returns following log:

exec /io.buoyant/linkerd/1.4.6/bundle-exec: exec format error

Any tips?

btw I'm running on minikube.

Thank you!!
