[Qemu-devel] [Bug 557327] Re: Hang/Crash installing Win XP/2003 in qemu (no kvm)

[Ryan Harper]

Using latest qemu.git I'm able to install WinXP-SP2 32-bit with:
x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -L pc-bios -m 512 -hda /root/winxp.qcow2 -vnc 
:4 -usb -u
sbdevice tablet -monitor stdio -cdrom /scratch/isos/en_winxp_pro_with_sp2.iso

It isn't fast, but it works.  Please re-open this if you are still
having trouble installing with KVM enabled in the latest qemu.git.

Bug description:
It is impossible to install Win XP/2003 in QEmu without using KVM.  XP hangs at 
"Setup is starting Windows", and the 2003 setup crashes with a blue screen.  It 
is 100% reproducible, I tried it on a Win7 host and a Linux (Debian) host, and 
I also tried it on several differenct host CPUs (Atom N270, VIA C7 and 
Core2Duo) and get the same result on all of them.  It appears that this bug 
exists in 0.10, 0.11, and 0.12.  I was able to install the guest in 0.9
