<p>Hello Nahum,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>My apologize in the meantime I had found the solution with
changing the IDE with the virtio, the ide is indeed limit to 4
devices but now it's running perfectly thanks ;)</p>
<p>But another question, do you have experience with adding raw
devices in KVM ?</p>

<div dir="ltr">I would think that depending on how you're invoking
QEMU (it looked like the full qemu command line was truncated
from the output you pasted) it' allocating one of the 4
available IDE slots to a virtual CDROM. Depending on your guest
OS you could consider using a different virtual controller for
the virtual disks, or you might be able to tell qemu not to
allocate a virtual cdrom drive.

<div>If you want to share the full qemu command line being
invoked I'm happy to take a quick look at it to see if I can
figure out a simple way to improve it.</div>
