** Description changed:

  Positng the issue here since I did not get any reply on the ML.
  
  I was trying to update some windows XP (SP3) images in kvm.
  
  It worked fine several times but last time I added mass storage
  drivers to sysprep and now on the second boot after reseal (the first
  is mini-setup) I get a BSOD with message
- DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I can post the screenshot if somebody
- thinks it is interesting enough.
+ DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. 
  
- The same image works on hardware (which has controllers different from
- the qemu PIIX3) and in VirtualBox (with the default PIIX4 as well as
- PIIX3) so long as IO apic is enabled).
- 
- I am not sure if this is an error with the MS drivers or how they are
- used in sysprep in this particular case or if his is some strange
- error in qemu emulation in the PIIX3 controller or elsewhere.
+ It turns out that the error is unrelated to storage drivers. It is
+ triggered by Synaptics driver installing for the PS2 mouse in kvm (which
+ does not happen in VirtualBox or on real hardware).
  
  The image is originally created on hardware with MP acpi (not
  virtualization).
  
  qemu-kvm                  0.12.5+dfsg-2
