Hi. I'm using the latest qemu release 1.4.0 and libvirt 1.0.4.
The host system is a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS system, Intel Xeon processor, 4GB RAM. When trying to install Windows XP I constantly receive this error (usually right before the graphical Setup is started). Once, I've seen this error too: hw/lsi53c895a.c:351: lsi_soft_reset: Assertion `((&s->queue)->tqh_first == ((void *)0))' failed. I found the thread here http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-11/msg00518.html but it didn't led me nowhere. I recompiled with DEBUG_SCSI and DEBUG_LSI enabled. Here's the command libvirt put together and the last few lines of output. I can provide the complete log if you need it.

Any directions on how to go about solving this would be great. TIA!
