Hi,

3 things that I wonder regarding your command line...

1. Have you tried to use CTRL ALT 2 to switch to qemu console? I just
tried, and it seems to work perfectly (CTRL ALT 1 to switch back to
the main qemu display).

2. Why do you use -std-vga? Cirrus Logic emulation works pretty well on XP.

3. Any special reason you use ISA emulation?

Thanks,
Hetz

1. Yes, it works for keyboard input, but I use a named pipe to send 
commands via the KDE start menu
2./3. It's just that I tried it first in standard mode and it wouldn't 
work, so I tried again with the above parameters and it worked, however 
I can't restart because I get some disk access error (on the BIOS 
screen), even after restoring the boot record and boot table via the 
recovery console (ran chkdsk too). But I made a snaphot directly after 
the setup and now I just use that. It works, but I still can't reboot or 
change the hardware for that matter.
