BSoD, HAL.DLL

BSoD, HAL.DLL

[Sean Kennedy]

I continue to get bluescreens on an XP virtual machine running on CentOS 6.3 x86_64 using VirtIO drivers.

QEMU:
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.x86_64

KERNEL:
Linux vmhost1 2.6.32-279.1.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 10 13:47:21 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Please take this to RHEL support.  Their kernel and qemu-kvm are ancient but
very heavily patched, and it's nearly impossible to understand what's going
