Subject: Using serial with Windows XP - need help
Date: Thu, 08 Apr 2010 00:32:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BBD080B.9090606@telemach.net> (raw)

Using:
kvm-0.12.3
libvirt-0.7.7
kernel-2.6.31

I am trying to persuade my Win XP guest to use the serial which I have 
configured using the virt-manager. But whatever I try no COMs appear in 
guest. I have tried with socket, tcp, pipe, etc. with just the same 
result - no COM within the guest. I have obviously missed something. I 
need help to set-up that COM appear and work within guest machine.

guest's XML part for serial looks like:

<serial type='tcp'>
<source mode='connect' host='127.0.0.1' service='4555'/>
<protocol type='raw'/>
<target port='0'/>
</serial>
<console type='tcp'>
<source mode='connect' host='127.0.0.1' service='4555'/>
<protocol type='raw'/>
<target port='0'/>
</console>


Here is the latest command line to run my guest:

/usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc-0.11 -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp
