Did you setting --pod-network-cidr=192.168.0.0/16 to kubeadm init?
Apparently, You need setting it.

Because you are not using docker you need to setup the cgroup driver explicitly.

To use the systemd cgroup driver, set plugins.cri.systemd_cgroup = true in /etc/containerd/config.toml and systemctl restart containerd

You have to modify the file kubeadm-flags.env in /var/lib/kubelet and set the cgroups driver.

KUBELET_EXTRA_ARGS=--cgroup-driver=systemd

Make sure to point to above file in /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d/10-kubeadm.conf

EnvironmentFile=-/var/lib/kubelet/kubeadm-flags.env
