hi,
after we test kvm-55 no regression found to kvm-54, but 32bit guest on a 64bit host still not working (but now the boot process hang earlier the starting udev). another strange thing that win xp with 4vcpu guest still
see onlu one cpu inside the guest.

You may need to update the Windows HAL to the 'ACPI Multiprocessor' or something like that.

A good way is, to install a new windows guest using acpi and -smp 4. The windows installer will then select a multiprocessor kernel/hal. You also can force a specific kernel/hal when pressing F5 during the installation, when asked for pressing F6.

If you do not want to install a new Windows guest, you may
1. Extract from %SYSTEMROOT%\ServicePackFiles\i386\sp2.cab halmacpi.dll
ntkrnlmp.exe
ntkrpamp.exe
to %SYSTEMROOT%\System32
2. cd %SYSTEMROOT%\System32
copy halmacpi.dll hal.dll
copu ntkrnlmp.exe ntoskrnl.exe
copy ntkrpamp.exe ntkrnlpa.exe
3. Reboot and let Windows do its magic.
4. Reboot when requested to do so.
5. Enjoy MP support.
I did it once (XP SP2, 32 bit) and it worked okay - but I don't know whether it will always work that way.
