Thanks Alan,
your work-around works for me! Windows XP starts now under kvm
85+dfsg-4.1.
Alas I have a new problem now, that xvnc4viewer (4.1.1+X4.3.0-31) fails with
"Rect too big", when I try to connect:
$ vncviewer localhost:0

Rect too big: 11822x7709 at 3824,1 exceeds 1280x1024
main: Rect too big
But that is another problem, generally it works with the build-in vncviewer of
virt-manager, or with xvnc4viewer when I run the guest XP with 1024x768 instead
of 1280x1024.
kind regards,

I found a work around thanks to some googling and seeing the
bug in ubuntu
The KVM needs the -nx flag to allow it to work. You can achieve this
with the following steps
create the file /etc/libvirt/qemu/kvm-32 with the following contents
#!/bin/bash
exec kvm -cpu qemu32,-nx `echo $*`
and make it executable.
In the same directory you should find the xml file for your virtual
machine. In my case it was called windows.xml
Inside that file there is a line
<emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
change it to
<emulator>/etc/libvirt/qemu/kvm-32</emulator>
You will need to restart libvirt-bin
/etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart
and then the virtual machine can be started and windows runs fine.
