I sugggest you slim down your xp iso using nLite (google for it...).
Doing so, your total setup time will go down to ~20 minutes only :)
Hopefully, you'll track down the bug in an easier way, or it may
completely disappear.

I also suggest you integrate dma patches to speed up qemu's XP.
Why aren't these DMA patches still not inside CVS ?
They're quite useful...

PS: anyone managed to integrate sofmmu patches for win32 binaries ?
It'd be good to finally get the same +40% improvements on winXP hosts :)
