[Qemu-devel] Qemu-KVM with 3x IDE HDD + CDROM not working

[Peter Lieven <pl@dlh.net>]

Hi Qemu/KVM Devel Team,

if I create a VM with more than 2 harddisks and a CDROM Image and want 
to boot from CDROM this is not working.
 From my understanding at least 3 IDE Drives + 1 IDE CDROM should work.

cmdline:
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm-0.12.4  -net none  -drive 
file=/dev/sdb,if=ide,boot=on,cache=none,aio=native  -drive 
file=/dev/sdc,if=ide,boot=off,cache=none,aio=native  -drive 
file=/dev/sdd,if=ide,boot=off,cache=none,aio=native  -m 256 -cpu 
qemu64,model_id='Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5430  @ 2.66GHz' 
-monitor tcp:0:4001,server,nowait -vnc :1 -name 'ide-test'  -boot 
order=dc,menu=on  -cdrom 
/home/kvm/cdrom/root/KNOPPIX_V6.2.1CD-2010-01-31-DE.iso -k de  -pidfile 
/var/run/qemu/vm-153.pid  -mem-path /hugepages -mem-prealloc  -rtc 
base=utc,clock=vm -no-kvm-irqchip -usb -usbdevice tablet

SEABIOS shows error: Could not read from CDROM (code 0001)

Thanks,
Peter
