Comment (by cscott):

 I believe this is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=431829
 "ata_piix does not work with the PIIX IDE controller provided"; further
 discussed at http://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-
 devel at nongnu.org/msg10716.html

 I'm guessing our recent kernels began using ata_piix for IDE, which broke
 qemu.  This is a qemu bug, not our fault.  (Some versions of) kvm seem to
 work fine.
