But this makes me wonder: why the issue only exists with ide, but not with ahci/sata? The two should be sufficiently similar to trigger this check the same way. Maybe we have another bug somewhere, like adding an extra sector in some path, which is triggered by 58ac3211? Maybe even in the guest kernel (but in this case, since it works with real hw, we should ignore it). Thanks, /mjt
