Hi !

the QEMU builder currently supports 4 types for the disk_interface configuration :

  • ide
  • scsi
  • virtio
  • virtio-scsi

Would it be possible to add support for sata as well ?

This PR was supposed to add SATA support: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-qemu/pull/54#pullrequestreview-877649727

However it's incomplete and unusable at this stage: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-qemu/issues/146

@nywilken should we remove this option from the docs until we figure out a way to fix SATA support ? How difficult would it be to add an ICH9 AHCI controller when SATA is requested ?

I'm also wondering if we should check the machine_type, since a q35 chipset may already add this type of controller by default.
