Re: xp guest, blue screen c0000221 on boot

Thanks for the suggestion. I've successfully installed on a new qcow2 image.

Strangely all of my xp raw images no longer work. That makes me think 
that this is more than just a corrupt image.

I've been using kvm for several years with raw images, so I don't think 
the BIOS could be a factor either.

If there's a way to get my raw images to work, that would be nice. I'm 
trying to convert one of the raw images to qcow2 -- perhaps that will work.
