I don't know of WinXP, but I get problems running Win98 with kqemu. The
site does say it's only been successfully tested with Linux 2.4, 2.6 and
Win2k.. It might be that these other Windows are using borderline obscure
features of the processor in some odd way which kqemu doesn't quite
support yet...?

how can I test it or debug it? How can give Fabrice more information?

Did you try qvm86? Sometimes kqemu works better, sometimes qvm86 is
the best choice, sometimes nothing is better than not using
acceleration. :-)

Ususally I try all the three solutions and the problem goes away.

no. is qvm86 ready to run win xp on amd64 host?

I have problems compiling qemu with qvm86 (newest version from cvs).

qvm86 does not yet suppot amd64 hosts. It only works on amd64 hardware when 
running a 32-bit kernel.

ok, I've got amd64, win xp guest, and I'm a programmer
if you need some help (but don't know qemu/qvm86 code).
