If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.' That said, I did a successfull install on q35 by using the piix4-ide controller for the cdrom and ide drive (passed on command line). Also, I can get windows 7 now to recognize the ahci drives after boot by going into the device manager and doing a rescan for new h/w. So this appears to be a problem in the boot path... Windows xp: Same as windows 7, wouldn't install with ahci but will install using the piix4-ide controller passed on command line. Not even sure if windows xp has ahci support. BSD --- Luiz tested these for me. OpenBSD 5.1, FreeBSD 9.0 and NetBSD all worked with the ide controller passed on the command line. AHCI didn't work. Recently, I have been working on trying to get ahci working on Windows 7, but if we are willing to go with the piix4-ide controller as the default for now until we shake out ahci issues that might allow us to make faster progress. I still need to clean up the trees a bit and re-base on top of the QOM pcihost patches, but it shouldn't be too bad. Thanks, -Jason
