MSDN talks about a mulitprocessor configuration error:

I suspected the offline CPUs in the mptable that confuse NT. But -smp 1,maxcpus=1 does not make a difference. I will try to dig deeper in this area.
OK, I tackled this down. It is the max CPUID level that differs.
In the AMD CPUID guide leafs 0000_0002 till 0000_0004 are reserved, the CPU that Michael and I used (K8RevF) actually have a max leaf of 1 here.
Default qemu64 has a max leaf of 4.
So by saying -cpu qemu64,level=1 (or 2 or 3) it works for me.
Modern OS only read leaf 4 on Intel systems, it seems that NT4 is missing this.
I will now think about a proper fix for this.

I don't understand. Shouldn't the values for cpuid leaf 4 be the same for qemu64 whether the cpu is Intel or AMD? The real cpuid shouldn't matter.
