Windows XP x64 Edition - halts on black screen

[foxlet]

I've tried booting a retail version of XP x64 Edition through QEMU (using Quibble 20230328, OVMF with CSM enabled), with Windows installed on NTFS, and while the kernel is loaded and the system jumps into CSM mode, it remains on an underscore and halts...

From the README:

To-do list
Get working with XP and Vista on amd64 (done?)

So I guess that answers the question of whether it works...

I'll have a look into it when I get the chance.

But.. uh, can you load that XP installation without quibble (of course, through the use of of whatever appropriate hacks)?
Because it's not like you can blame the bootloader for not also patching your kernel, acpi and video drivers. If I can explain.
