Why?? Does anything (even GCC) support it at all??

I don't know. Maybe for completeness?

All the "plain" images I created with QEMU-IMG are no longer readable with Bochs 2.3.5 (No problems with v2.3).

I used the "translation=auto" parameter, but the auto-detection no longer works:

>>PANIC<<:: geometry autodetection failed

The bad thing is, I cannot circumvent this bug by setting a valid disk geometry manually, because Bochs v2.3.5 does not accept the "correct" values.

A bad regression.

Same here, but I had empty images available only. Please create a bug report at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12580&atid=112580
