Triaging old bug tickets... can you still reproduce this issue with the latest version of QEMU? Or could we close this ticket nowadays?

As it mentioned under the link, http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/WindowsGuestDrivers/UpdatedGuestDebugging Started VM using the below command with serial device as TCP port. # qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 1 -enable-kvm -m 512 -boot c -serial tcp:127.0.0.1:50001,server,nowait -hda /mnt/sda5/var/lib/libvirt/images/win2008host.img And started WinDbg in the Windows VM, with serial port:COM1 and Baudrate:115200. It throws the error "Could not start kernel debugging using com:port:COM1,baudrate:115200 parameters, Win32 error 0n2. The system cannot find the file specified." Checked under Device Manager and there is no COM1 port. Does the -serial tcp:127.0.0.01:50001 creates COM1 port? I doubt. If no what are the parameters I should pass to WinDbg for serial port? Please help me how to solve this issue. Thanks Venkatesh To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1196498/+subscriptions
