windows xp sp3 setup blank screen on boot
When attempting to run Windows XP SP3 setup in qemu on a Lubuntu host with the following kernel:
Linux michael-XPS-M1530 3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Qemu does not get past a blank screen after "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration"
Qemu 1.0.1 - Doesn't have a problem
Qemu 1.1.0 - has the problem
Qemu master commit eb2aeacf983a2a88a2b31e8fee067c38bd10abd3 - has the problem
qemu-system-x86_64 -L ../path/to/bios -cdrom winxp.iso -hda winxp.img -boot d
where ../path/to/bios is the location of the pc-bios files from that version of qemu
hi,
same problem on centos 6.2 with vanilla kernel 3.4.2.
I compiled qemu 1.0.1 from source and qemu 1.1.0 from source.
/opt/qemu-1.0.1/bin/qemu-system-i386 -m 2048 -cdrom Win_XP_Pro_SP3.iso -hda test.winXP.qcow2 : works
/opt/qemu-1.1.0/bin/qemu-system-i386 -m 2048 -cdrom Win_XP_Pro_SP3.iso -hda test.winXP.qcow2 : hangs
/opt/qemu-1.1.0/bin/qemu-system-i386 -m 2048 -cdrom Win_XP_Pro_SP3.iso -hda test.winXP.qcow2 -L /opt/qemu-1.0.1/data/ : hangs and on stderr give: Could not open option rom 'kvmvapic.bin': No such file or directory
/opt/qemu-1.1.0/bin/qemu-system-i386 -m 2048 -cdrom Win_XP_Pro_SP3.iso -hda test.winXP.qcow2 -L /opt/qemu-1.0.1/data/ -cpu qemu32,-apic : hangs

I was also able to reproduce with commit:
eb2aeacf983a2a88a2b31e8fee067c38bd10abd3
The problem appears to have been fixed upstream though. A reverse bisect
points to this patch being the fix:
commit c52acf60b6c12ff5eb58eb6ac568c159ae0c8737

fdc: fix implied seek while there is no media in drive
The Windows uses 'READ' command at the start of an instalation
without checking the 'dir' register. We have to abort the transfer
with an abnormal termination if there is no media in the drive.

Please try your scenario again using that commit, and if all if it does the
trick we'll get it included in the next stable-1.1 release.

I confirm it works.
just compiled from commit c52acf60b6c12ff5eb58eb6ac568c159ae0c8737.
Windows XP SP3 installation iso boot and start installation process.
I tested both i368-softmmu and x86_64-softmmu targets.
thanks

The bug also applies to Debian Qemu 1.1.0
Adding the changes of commit c52acf60b6c12ff5eb58eb6ac568c159ae0c8737 on top of the 1.1.0 Debian package fixes the issue.
Which debian package do you mean? The fix is included is current debian qemu-kvm 1.1.0+dfsg-3 release. qemu package in debian does not have this fix however.
Marking this bug as fixed, according to comment #4 and #5
