It seems like the qemu console doesn't work anymore, I don't even get a prompt...

I'm using WindowsXP Pro as GuestOS, launched with
qemu -hda /home/schmucker/TheBigOne/WinXP -hdb /home/schmucker/hdb.raw -cdrom files.iso -localtime -boot d -isa -std-vga

Have you tried to use CTRL ALT 2 to switch to qemu console? I just tried, and it seems to work perfectly (CTRL ALT 1 to switch back to the main qemu display). 2. Why do you use -std-vga? Cirrus Logic emulation works pretty well on XP. 3. Any special reason you use ISA emulation?

Yes, it works for keyboard input, but I use a named pipe to send commands via the KDE start menu 2./3. It's just that I tried it first in standard mode and it wouldn't work, so I tried again with the above parameters and it worked, however I can't restart because I get some disk access error (on the BIOS screen), even after restoring the boot record and boot table via the recovery console (ran chkdsk too). But I made a snaphot directly after the setup and now I just use that. It works, but I still can't reboot or change the hardware for that matter.
