This particular message came in with

    ide: Check validity of logical block size

so something like
diff --git a/hw/ide/qdev.c b/hw/ide/qdev.c
index 353854c..2680275 100644
--- a/hw/ide/qdev.c

@@ -163,7 +163,8 @@ static int ide_dev_initfn(IDEDevice *dev, IDEDriveKind kind)

     }
 
-    if (dev->conf.logical_block_size != 512) {
+    if (dev->conf.logical_block_size != 512 &&

         error_report("logical_block_size must be 512 for IDE");
         return -1;
     }


will fix this.

Now we have 
block.c:582: bdrv_probe_blocksizes: Assertion `drv != ((void *)0)' failed

so
we need something like this on top - I guess.

Kate, I think its time for a v7 :-(
