I have similar issue on Ubuntu 7.10 and latest kvm-kernel and
kvm-userspace ( 05.Nov.2007 ). Guest: Windows Xp SP1 or Windows 2000 SP4
. With linux guest i don't have any problem... at lest with out splash
screen.
MY hardware: Pentium D 940 on i945g+ICH7.

-no-acpi and/or -no-kvm-irqchip dusn't solw this problem for me. Only
way is to start with -no-kvm or with old ( ubuntu version ) kvm.

Syslog return me this if i try to boot windows guest
[ 354.894085] kvm: guest NX capability removed
[ 384.669292] apic write: bad size=1 fee00030
[ 384.669695] Ignoring de-assert INIT to vcpu 0
[ 385.142467] Ignoring de-assert INIT to vcpu 0

with linux guest only:
[ 354.894085] kvm: guest NX capability removed
