It gets farther. It loads drivers off the CD, then blue screens with
STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
I guess that narrows down where to look next.
Hrmm. Did seabios find your harddrive? Can you send the full serial log? Was this with a Windows cdrom or a Windows installation on a hard drive?
I did get a little further with winxp last weekend. With Tom Sylla's advice, I installed winxp onto the harddrive using the factory bios and made sure to disable acpi support. I was then able to boot winxp off of the harddrive from seabios - but I didn't have any vga output. (I was able to confirm that winxp booted because I could rdesktop into it.)
It's still a mystery why winxp video halts after the "crawler" screen. I'm also not sure why I can't install from cdrom.
Oh well - it's one step further..
