What doesn't work: qemu 2.12 with SATA What works: using VirIO-SCSI with qemu 2.12 or downgrading qemu to 2.11.1 and keep using SATA. Platform is arch linux 4.16.7 on skylake and Haswell, I have attached the vm xml file. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1769189/+subscriptions
