I guess the easiest is to post screen shots of those tabs: www.jtan.com/~reader/vu2/disp.cgi I did notice that on System tab the chipset is listed as piix3 and on Storage Tab it shows `type' as PIIX4. At first there were no other choices on the drop downs, so I assumed it was ok like that... now I see the dropdown on Storage has gotten populated since I last tried it. I set it to match the System `chip' PIIX3... but still the same failure. Maybe those are not related to the problem?
