This "fixes" it - it compiles successfully, but my guest no longer boots up completely! Windows XP gets a bluescreen and reboots in an infinite loop. Strange is: I was requested to put some "efi*" files now on my target system for handling the network cards (qemu complains at startup via stderr when I don't have them available on my target system). But why? Where can I select to use the "pxe*" files? There seems to be no possibility to select them via ./configure or as qemu command line option. Maybe this is related to the bluescreen? 1.2.0 was working properly. Best regards, Erik
