I've run into more than a few things that aren't happy with emulation. 
I know AIX for PS/2 is looking for something at PS/2 specific memory 
addresses related to hardware.

I've also had a number of problems with different hypervisors emulating 
different types of hardware that older OSs are happy (enough) with. 
Things like IDE / SCSI / sound / network controllers.
