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. :)
