Synopsis: 5.3 refuses to boot when IDE channel2 is enabled and no drive is installed

State-Changed-Why: 
The problem description seems like the machine is waiting
for something to popup on the secondary ide channel. Since
there is nothing on the secondary channel, the device
should sent a timeout (i do not know when). I think the
system will boot when the timeout period is over (Which
can take a while).

I requested feedback from the submitter but got no reply.

I will close the PR with the above mentioned reasons, if
you feel this is in error, please report back to me and
help me get more information about this.
