In one of the posts for Vista on QEMU someone had mentioned that ACPI is to
be blamed. In one of the subsequent posts it was pointed that ACPI is
supported quite well in EFI BIOS. This is the reason I had mentioned that it
no longer works with QEMU.

The goal still remains to get Vista 64-bit working on QEMU and if EFI BIOS
will not help then I will not pursue it any further.

Any further pointers to get Vista running on QEMU will be appreciated.
