I hope this is not to far off topic. I have a Windows 2003 guest on a CentOS 5.5 KVM host. I need to use the serial port on the win2003 guest for the application it is serving. I have no idea what needs to be done but it looks like the linux host is trying to use the serial port as the priamary console but I don't really understand what that is or where it is configured. What I need is for the host to ignore any traffice over the serial port and to pass it to the guest. On the host, ls -l /dev | grep ttyS, returns: crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 Jul 6 10:17 ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 65 Jul 6 10:17 ttyS1 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 66 Jul 6 10:17 ttyS2 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 67 Jul 6 10:17 ttyS3 It only has 1 serial port so I don't know why ttyS1-S3 are listed. On the guest it says that Com1 is configured and working properly. On the Virtual Machine Hardware tab of the guest it lists a Serial 0. Details: Serial Device (Priamary Console) Device Type: pty Target Port: 0 Source Path: /dev/pts/2 Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
