This might be related. On my FC13 system, on 22 Mar, qemu went from
qemu-common-0.12.5-1.fc13.x86_64 to -> qemu-common-0.13.0-1.fc13.x86_64
After that update an XP vm no longer boots. Win 7 and Centos VM's are
fine. The XP vm was installed with the work-around of booting from an
iso image of the XP install disk and being allowed to time out and then
starting the system on the hard disk image. The XP install image will
boot and the XP repair option that appears early in the XP install
sequence can mount the disk. It's native fixmbr/fixboot commands don't help.
If I attach the xp vm's disk to the Win 7 vm all the files are visible.
Any suggestions
Thanks
Ken
Update: I have installed new XP guest system and copied the whole
filesystem from the non-booting one over the new XP filesystem and it
now boots fine without the workaround of booting via the XP install iso
image. XP had a bit of a tantrum over its own activation process but
that is OK now.
