I can create IDE, SCSI and virtio drives with -drive if=ide,bus=M,unit=N,... -drive if=scsi,bus=M,unit=N,... -drive if=virtio,index=N,... but when I attempted to test AHCI, a variety of plausible things I tried like -drive if=ahci,... -drive if=ide-ahci,... -drive if=ide,bus=ahci.0,... all failed. There's no mention of AHCI in qemu-options.hx or qemu-doc.texi, nor anything in the git commit log history about using this new drive type. Best wishes, Chris.
