The code in hw/xfree86/os-support/bus/sparcPci.c:simbaCheckBus() is trying to mimmick VGA routing by disabling I/O space responses behind the Simba PCI-PCI controller. Unfortunately, doing this also happens to disable access to the IDE controller I/O space registers, thus crashing the system. The granularity of the I/O disabling in the Simba controller is not fine enough to disable VGA without also disabling the IDE controller registers.
