Well, I forgot something to mention. Again:
I can boot the install CDs of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 if I
DON'T use any floppy drive. -fda/-fdb FILE as well as -drive
file=FILE,if=floppy are causing this bug, the bug not to be able to boot
these install CDs.
Works For Me (tm) with and without floppy image, with several versions
of qemu-kvm and qemu, and using several different winXP install CD images
(one is even pre-SP1).
Just a wild guess: maybe you've something "wrong" in the floppy image
that causes winXP to hang? I tried ms-dos-6.22 boot floppy and a blank
(all-zeros) image. Or maybe it's of a wrong geometry/size, whatever...
