Re: Fresh install of Windows XP hangs early in boot?

I built with debugging symbols, and this seems to be an issue with SCSI
disk emulation.  The traceback is:

#0  0x00007fc086d7dd10 in memcpy () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x00000000004a319b in cpu_physical_memory_rw (addr=108661608,

and no progress ever seems to be made (the same address is read over and
over)

I'm trying again with IDE instead of SCSI disks.  But I would like to
help debug the SCSI emulation... will look at it further later, and I'm
happy to provide any info someone else could use.
