Nothing is "basic" in a modern computer. > that I'd assume to work well no matter the chipset The chipset is very important to get ATAPI commands through. What exactly is the issue is yet to be investigated, I'd *love* to see somebody actually have a look at why -M q35 is needed, rather than having to "document" in all places this workaround. (the workaround is not needed for i386 images. Worse, -M q35 makes the i386 in-kernel driver choke, again investigation welcome) Samuel
