I will revert to virtio.  It was virtio originally, I changed it to ide since that is what is used on the box the works.

Perhaps the difference between boxes is not the driver but the fact that the working box has an SSD disk and the new box has rotating disks.

To eliminate disk I/O entirely I am trying Ubuntu's "overlayroot".  However, I am still getting enormous latency from ata_bmdma_start calls, just nowhere near as often.
