Comment 12 for bug 163113

to Martin Visser :

Did you actually try it ? Can't hurt to try. It works for my case (qemu/kvm/kqemu). I can boot the JeOS image I created like this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-jeos/+bug/163113/comments/9 with this workaround. But I don't know what kind of disk qemu/kvm emulates.

You should also try the same approach but use the scsi module you need instead of ide-generic.
