I was also able to reproduce with commit:

eb2aeacf983a2a88a2b31e8fee067c38bd10abd3

The problem appears to have been fixed upstream though. A reverse bisect
points to this patch being the fix:

commit c52acf60b6c12ff5eb58eb6ac568c159ae0c8737
Author: Pavel Hrdina <phrdina@redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Jun 13 15:43:11 2012 +0200

    fdc: fix implied seek while there is no media in drive
    
    The Windows uses 'READ' command at the start of an instalation
    without checking the 'dir' register. We have to abort the transfer
    with an abnormal termination if there is no media in the drive.

Please try your scenario again using that commit, and if all if it does the
trick we'll get it included in the next stable-1.1 release.

qemu-system-x86_64 -L ../path/to/bios -cdrom winxp.iso -hda winxp.img
-boot d

where ../path/to/bios is the location of the pc-bios files from that
version of qemu

hi, 
same problem on centos 6.2 with vanilla kernel 3.4.2.
I compiled qemu 1.0.1 from source and qemu 1.1.0 from source.

/opt/qemu-1.0.1/bin/qemu-system-i386 -m 2048 -cdrom Win_XP_Pro_SP3.iso
-hda test.winXP.qcow2   :  works

/opt/qemu-1.1.0/bin/qemu-system-i386 -m 2048 -cdrom Win_XP_Pro_SP3.iso
-hda test.winXP.qcow2   :  hangs

/opt/qemu-1.1.0/bin/qemu-system-i386 -m 2048 -cdrom Win_XP_Pro_SP3.iso
-hda test.winXP.qcow2 -L /opt/qemu-1.0.1/data/ : hangs and on stderr
give: Could not open option rom 'kvmvapic.bin': No such file or
directory

/opt/qemu-1.1.0/bin/qemu-system-i386 -m 2048 -cdrom Win_XP_Pro_SP3.iso
-hda test.winXP.qcow2 -L /opt/qemu-1.0.1/data/ -cpu qemu32,-apic  :

I confirm it works.
just compiled from commit c52acf60b6c12ff5eb58eb6ac568c159ae0c8737.
Windows XP SP3 installation iso boot and start installation process.

I tested both i368-softmmu and x86_64-softmmu targets.

thanks
Luigi

The bug also applies to Debian Qemu 1.1.0

Adding the changes of commit c52acf60b6c12ff5eb58eb6ac568c159ae0c8737 on
top of the 1.1.0 Debian package fixes the issue.

Which debian package do you mean?  The fix is included is current debian
qemu-kvm 1.1.0+dfsg-3 release.  qemu package in debian does not have
this fix however.
