+Unable to access disk image on mipsel host
+
+Something is wrong with hard disk images on MIPSel host.
+
+The host system is mips64el (Loongson cpu, Linux 2.6.39, eglibc 2.13)
+Tried Qemu 0.14.1 and 0.15.0-rc2, both compiled with GCC 4.6.0.
+
+First I was trying to install WinXP (i386-softmmu).
+Starting install, create partition, format (either quick and full), seems to complete, boom the error:
+
+"
+Setup was unable to format the partition.  The disk may be damaged.  Make sure the drive is switched on and properly connected to your computer.  If the disk is a SCSI disk, make sure your SCSI devices are properly terminated.  Consult your computer manual or SCSI adapter documentation for more information.
+
+You must select a different partition for Windows XP.
+To continue, press ENTER.
+"
+
+This happens with both raw and qcow2 image format.
+Tried 10Gb image, tried 16Gb one - no difference.
+
+On a x86 host, that formatting makes the image (qcow2) grow to about 81 Mb by the time it reaches 100% formatted (quick), but on mipsel it grows to 0.8Mb at the same time and the error appears.
+
+I tried the same installing of Windows in Qemu on x86 host and copied over the completed image.
+In that case it starts loading, but in the middle of the animation there is an error:
+
+"
+STOP: c0000221 Unknown Hard Error
+\Systemroot\System32\ntdll.dll
+"
+(or HAL.dll)
+
+So, i tried linux-0.2.img.bz2 from the Qemu site, and that fails too.
+Thus it's the minimal bug reproduction thing.
+
+During boot there are multiple errors like:
+"
+hda: dma_intr: status=0x41 { DriveReady Error }
+hda: dma_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
+hda: Failed opcode was: unknown
+"
+
+It booted and kind of worked, there were weird glitches in every program.
+Unusable.
+
+Summarily, that suggest some error in hard disk emulation or back storage, specific either to MIPSel or non-x86 hosts.
