Q35: disk type view not consistent in edit vm and new disk pages
Hello, if I create a VM and select Q35 machine type, still the General --> create image option in edit phase doesn't show sata as an option. Even if I create the VM without disks and then go to edit General --> create, I only see IDE, VirtIO-SCSI and VirtIO. Instead if I click VM name, DIsks --> New, I can select VirtIO-SCSI, VirtIO and SATA After the first disk (SATA in my case) has been created, now if I go and edit VM --> General --> Instance Images + --> Create, I see consistent options. I think GUI experience could be improved. Also because I can reproduce this workflow converging to an error (even if IDE disks are not so common nowadays...): New VM In general I create an IDE disk In System I select in Advanced parameters, Custom Chipset/Firmware Type Q35 (EFI or BIOS based) go ahead At the final OK I get the error: Cannot add Virtual Disk: The disk interface is not supported by the VM OS: Other OS. The result is VM created but without the IDE disk as not supported in Q35 type. Tested in 4.4.4 Gianluca

Definitely, the lists should be the same and include [sata, virtio, virtio-scsi], we have a bug on that: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1925079

I have only virtio and virtio-scsi in the list of interfaces so it's not trivial for me to reproduce so can you please file a bug and attach the engine.log - I wonder how come that the whole add-vm operation didn't fail because of that.
