QEMU/libvirtd/Virt-Manager update, raw disk passthrough fails startup

So essentialy I have this perfectly working virtual, and after experimentation I find out that my disk source path of /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ADATA_SSD_S511_120GB_12022629000000000998 (Basically a direct disk passthrough the best I know how to do it) is the thing causing the crash. I obviously deleted and remade said disk and the issue remains.

My question: How can I continue to use this disk?

I get a unknown cause starting domain error.

Details:
[spoiler]
Error starting domain: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 88, in cb_wrapper
    callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 124, in tmpcb
    callback(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/libvirtobject.py", line 83, in newfn
    ret = fn(self, *args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1404, in startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1035, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown

[/spoiler]

I would love to report this as a bug or something on the appropriate forum, but I: A. Have no proof it's not intentional. B. Have absolutely no idea which component this issue would be listed under, as the whole process is complicated nearly beyond my understanding. Any advice appreciated.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
