Using serial with Windows XP - need help

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name windowsxp -uuid 1f012431-f345-48f4-9ae5-b10787e24de7 -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/windowsxp.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline -rtc base=localtime -boot c -drive file=/var/lib/kvm/images/windowsxp/disk0,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,boot=on -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0 -drive if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0 -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -drive file=/var/lib/kvm/images/windowsxp/disk1,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-1 -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=drive-ide0-0-1,id=ide0-0-1 -device rtl8139,vlan=0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:6b:9d:6e,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -net tap,fd=20,vlan=0,name=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,vlan=1,id=net1,mac=52:54:00:3e:2a:f8,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -net tap,fd=21,vlan=1,name=hostnet1 -device rtl8139,vlan=2,id=net2,mac=52:54:00:ce:35:fe,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 -net tap,fd=22,vlan=2,name=hostnet2 -chardev socket,id=serial0,host=127.0.0.1,port=4555,server,nowait -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0 -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -vga cirrus -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3
