This has been confirmed by George Kiagiadakis:
 http://bugs.debian.org/488555
Using the bios.bin from kvm 66 with kvm 82 "fixes" his Vista startup
problems as does using --no-kvm.

kvm: qemu: regenerate bios for ACPI _SUN method

This particular bios.bin prevents my Windows Vista from booting.
The boot hangs while still in character mode, as I posted a few
days ago, and using the previous bios fixes that problem.

I'm going to dowload Vista SP1 and hope that the bug-fixes will
cure this problem and the lack of network connection as well.
(My Vistall install disk is the original RTM version.)
