With default -cpu, it boots, displays the "Inspecting your hardware configuration" message and BSODs with "STOP: 0x0000003E" error as shown here: http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/winnt4_1.gif With -cpu pentium the situation is a >bit< better, it displays: Microsoft (R) Windows NT (TM) Version 4.0 (Build 1381). 1 System Processor [512 MB Memory] Multiprocessor Kernel and stops there with 100% CPU usage, never going any further. Kvm command line is trivial, with -hda and -cdrom and -vga std (with -vga cirrus it displays garbage here). The only parameters of interest are: -no-acpi - this one has no visible effect -cpu pentium - tried that with some change but no success anyway. Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks! /mjt
