So it’s a regular guest VM on a host. Can someone please guide me what could be wrong here. Is it a known issue in the kvm module or qemu emulation of IDE/CDROM controller?

I am seeing this old problem with qemu 2.12/kernel 4.19.84(intel kvm with nesting enabled) and guest kernel 4.10 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1345964 Could you please advise me on this? I am seeing the exact same problem where the ata driver load was stuck. Really appreciate if you could give some pointers? Thanks, Suresh
