Re: [Qemu-devel] Problem with a fresh xp installation in CVS Qemu

[ML]

The size of the disk image is 4 GB, linux fdisk reports 4294 MB, 16 heads, 63 
sect/track, 8322 cylinders, W95 FAT32 (LBA).
I tried to uncomment bdrv_set_geometry_hint() and to force the translation to 1 
in pc.c as you suggested but unfortunately nothing changed and I keep getting a 
disc error at boot time.
