I suspect this is due to bugs in the IDE emulation of older qemu.  Xen
and VirtualBox both have forks of qemu included in their source trees.
qemu < 0.9 has serious problems in its IDE emulation not being compliant
with the specs, leading to it not working with the new libata-based
drivers used in Fedora 7.
