not sure if this is anything or not - but that IDE I/O port ignored *may* be an issue;

FWIW -- here's mine for comparison;

Thanks for posting your info for comparison. It helped. That itself could be a problem. But I don't know what exactly it means when it says port is ignored.

Other thing I thought of was - I would compare the results with booting off without any cheatcodes when I don't see correct partition table with results shown when booted with cheatcode pci=off, when I see correct partition table info. Will let you know what I find.
