Windows XP/2003 doesn't boot - Where is the fix for Fedora?

[KC8LDO]

I've been watching this bug for a while now and I wonder why the Fedora-13 
distro doesn't seem to get the patch mentioned in the following bug:

 https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/586175 (see comment #29)

This apparently has been fixed for a while is other distros but for some 
reason Fedora has not been fixed. Any reason for that? I have the latest 
files installed and I can confirm the problem still exits after trying to 
install Win 2K Pro.

So why are you asking in kvm@ and not in something like fedora@ ?
Comment #25 on that bug page (from me) shows the particular commit
which fixes the problem, the only thing left to do is to apply it
to the fedora package (provided it's 0.12.x)...

Thanks!

Yeah either file a bugzilla requesting it to be added, or try out the
Fedora 14 beta release (soon to be official Fedora 14).
