Hello,
I have just downloaded the latest qemu sources -qemu-0.11.0-rc2, builded them for Windows (using mingw, the tutorial described here:
http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/PortingTips-en.html). I was going to use qemu-system-x86_64.exe to emulate a Windows XP 64 on 32bit machine. The setup hangs at the same step (Setup is starting Windows). It is 100% reproductible for me.
