Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 17
Component/s: Kernel
1. When using virtualbox to boot iso image with IDE controller,
the system is hung, the workaround is using SATA controller
to instead.
2. The qemu have the same issue, and the community use virtio to
workaround.

3. On some board (NUC target and a Dell desktop,),
the kernel booted with call trace:

The call trace is no harm.
Since kernel 4.12 does not fix the issue, we have to use the workaround
way on virtualbox/qemu, and ignore the call trace on real board
4. Another workaround is manually set kernel config, to disable ide
and enable apa piix:
...
# CONFIG_IDE is not set
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y
...
