I saw the same things few weeks ago. Since then, I do not use hdd anymore (my qemu host is winXP). I remember it was better on real hardware to have the cdrom either alone on one IDE interface, or at most slave on the IDE interface if shared with a hard disk. In this case, hdc is the master. I believe qemu is really a very good hardware emulator... Indeed we can see the implication of having hdd and hdc active at the same time. :) -- Christian
