[Qemu-devel] Using AHCI drives in qemu

[Chris Webb]

Possible a stupid question, but noting the new AHCI support in qemu, how do
I specify an AHCI drive to attach to a qemu VM?

I can create IDE, SCSI and virtio drives with

  -drive if=ide,bus=M,unit=N,...
  -drive if=scsi,bus=M,unit=N,...
  -drive if=virtio,index=N,...

but when I attempted to test AHCI, a variety of plausible things I tried
like

  -drive if=ahci,...
  -drive if=ide-ahci,...
  -drive if=ide,bus=ahci.0,...

all failed. There's no mention of AHCI in qemu-options.hx or qemu-doc.texi,
nor anything in the git commit log history about using this new drive type.

Best wishes,

Chris.
