Bug Description
After upgrading from 2.6.28-11 to 2.6.28-15, kvm proceeded to hang booting a windows XP Pro image. Figuring it was windows being mad, I worked on creating a new image, and discovered that it doesn't boot once SP2 is installed. A current and fully patched XP Pro install does not boot unless the kernel is downgraded back to 2.6.28-11.
If needed, I can create a test image and make it available to someone on the kernel team.

Yes a test image would be good indeed. Could you also add a bit more information about the host system signature (from the working -11 kernel)
