The source package is also on Sid. Try installing that using m-a (the Debian way but I have also numerous times used sources from the site and compiled manually and simply copied the .ko to it correct place), change that modprobed/kqemu file and try again. I do not have XP images around to try but qemu runs most everything. For an alternative, you might try virtualbox (they have an opensource version, a free binary and a paid product). Runs some stuff better then qemu, somewhat different approach. But it does not run everyting qemu does. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
