Doesn't seem to. Ahh. I misread your references to Vista, and thought you were looking at upgrading your guest (ie. using something newer than 98SE) but still having issues. My apologies. ("KVM can't install Windows 98SE" in the subject line, rather than "KVM can't install Windows", might have averted this misunderstanding).
