FWIW, WinXP drivers from the latest .iso there can't be installed

just fine, and the driver itself appears to be fine too (one can
replace previously installed driver binary while windows isn't
watching and it continues to work). I added a note to the KVM
wiki page about this, at
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/WindowsGuestDrivers/Download_Drivers
I can't confirm this - the drivers work for me both in Qemu and in
qemu-kvm. Note however that the organisation on the ISO is weird - the
virtio-net driver is in \XP\x86, while the rest of the drivers are in
\WXp\x86.
These drivers works if you upgrade from previous version. But on
clean install of winXP - at least virtio-blk (and maybe virtionet
too, I don't remember) - can't be installed. There were several
reports about this problem on IRC too, and the solution has been
to use previous version of the drivers (where the directories are
ok). I mean the drivers from .iso, and installing them _after_
the system has been installed already (install to IDE first, and
add virtio drive as second drive).
I installed fresh winXP just a few days ago and also hit this problem.
