I had a similar problem, and my suggestion is what solved it, but
that was with moonshine, and according to the documentation, the /dev/ shouldn't need
to be specified. I didn't look unto ioemu, as I've never used it and assumed it
had to do with using a different method to emulate (input output emulation vs block device
emulation) since either method would be not paravirtualised by virtue of the vm being and
hvm. However, all of that (regarding ioemu) is highly presumptious. I seem to recall
something about not being able to have four devices for some reason as well, though, so
perhaps you should do some searching on that premise or try calling it hdc since you
aren't using the cdrom at the same time. I'm not a major linux player or
anything, so I can't make heads or tails of the more detailed output you provided.
That said, my suggestions are shots in the dark. Also, as an aside, I'm assuming -c
works for you on other HVM configs, as the last time I tried it with a
n
HVM (probably FC6), I don't think it did. Based on the error,
though, I don't think the -c is your problem. If it is, and assuming that you
aren't putting the config file in an auto-start (at boot) location, the hvm config
file can have a setting to start up a vnc window.

I narrowed it down to the disk configuration before I posted. I've seen
a limit of four drives mentioned; it seems broken to me any I'm likely
to test it (at one time I had three drives on USB interfaces attached to
my laptop while I copied back and forth.)
