With kvm-36 and pressing F7 to use Standard PC HAL:

qemu-system-x86_64 -hda xp.img  -cdrom /iso/xp.iso -boot 
d -m 512

the windows guest always fails to reboot, it then hangs without any errors or 
messages, but doing a manually reboot works well and finally the installation 
ended successfully.

Starting the guest in bridged mode with:

qemu-system-x86_64 xp.img -usb -usbdevice tablet -monitor stdio -m 512 \
-net nic,vlan=0 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup

seems to work fast and stable so far. 
I tried to install a program, create users and start some tasks ... and i 
haven't seen any errors yet, except for the reboot issue.
