That's a known problem. XP SP2 doesn't work with the current ACPI implementation, but you can use `qemu -no-acpi' to install and run it. You just have to kill and restart qemu manually when XP fails to reboot (which won't work without ACPI). -- Michael "Tired" Riepe X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
