Try my last fix. The important fix is in hw/ide.c:ide_guess_geometry(). 
I think the problem is that after reboot when installing 
ide_guess_geometry() returns an invalid geometry because the BIOS 
translated geometry is stored in the MBR instead of the real hard disk 
geometry.

For the desperate user, I added an option to manually specify the BIOS 
translation mode.
