I am trying to run Tiny core inside qemu with Kqemu on Windows XP, but it could not show up the X GUI in Tiny core, but it stops booting with the command prompt. If i try to start Xvesa it throws Segmentation Fault error.
Please help.

I'm running qemu on xp on my laptop without any problems.
I simply download the tinycore iso file and place it into the qemu directory. Then using a "cmd" window I "cd" into the qemu directory and use the following command to start tc:
qemu.exe -L . -cdrom tinycore.iso
I'm running: http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~kazuw/qemu-win/qemu-0.9.0-windows.zip
For the accelerator I'm running:
http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~kazuw/qemu-win/Kqemu-1.3.0pre11-install.exe
edit: just tried tc v2.9rc2 and it worked fine.

This command does not use kqemu at all, we need to use -kernel-kqemu param to use Kqemu. am i wrong???

There two levels of acceleration. The highest level "-kernel-kqemu" does not work with xvesa. However the "less aggressive" level works fine and is automatically available without the need for any additional options once the accelerator is installed.
edit: "To see if kqemu is enabled and working correctly, use the QEMU monitor command:
info kqemu"
