As additional info:

My XP SP2 installation inside KVM had been working perfectly until
the moment I installed XP SP3. After that, it blue-screens on
boot with something related to ACPI. I switched back to SP2 by
restoring the disk files of the VM and it is working again.
I started investigating a switch from ACPI to noACPI, but it looks
like a difficult trick to perform on Windows.
Any suggestion anyone?
