[Qemu-devel] Segmentation Fault

[support]

Good people,

I lost count trying to install Windows XP with Qemu without success.  I am 
working with Fedora Core 3 and tried qemu and winxp using the official FC3 
Kernel (2.6.10-1.741_FC3), cusomised Kernel (2.6.10-ck5), gcc-3.4.2, gcc-3.4.3, 
with ready made FC3 0.6.1 rpm package, and with the latest snapshot 
(2005-01-24) (./configure --prefix=/usr, make, make install).  The problem is a 
nusty segmentation fault.  Considering Windows XP takes a few hours to reach 
this point you can understand my frustration (it always happens at 
approximately the same stage of the winxp installation).

Here is a gdb dump -

Any help appreciated.
