Hi,

I can now get into XP setup but after clicking Install Windows xp, there is
no progress. Qemu does not seem to use CPU that means nothing is happening.

Any idea why?

I installed XP Professional under QEMU (host is debian) with no
problem using a 2GB raw image.  I then had problems trying to apply
SP2 because I ran out of disk space, so I created a 3GB raw image,
reinstalled XP, and then installed SP2 without any problems.  I am
using a CVS image from around Dec 19.
