Problem with sharing serial port after upgrade from 5.2.28 to 6.0.X (#18668)

Post by stagadet »


ModEdit; related ticket: #18668: Problem with sharing serial port after upgrade from 5.2.28 to 6.0.X
Hello,

I have a problem with a virtual machine running DOS 6.22 on Windows 10 Home 1803 Host, that I use to communicate with legacy PLCs through a serial port. I'm sharing the host COM port as host device.

Everything works fine with VirtualBox 5.2.28, but if I upgrade to 6.0.8 (I also tried with 6.0.6), the DOS program cannot communicate.

In the VBox.log (in the new version) I see messages like:

Code: Select all

00:00:28.613321 Serial#0: Failed to change parameters to 2400,NONE,5,1 -> VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
00:00:28.615033 Serial#0: Failed to change parameters to 9600,NONE,5,1 -> VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
00:00:28.707566 Serial#0: Failed to change parameters to 9600,NONE,5,1 -> VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
00:00:28.799691 Serial#0: Failed to change parameters to 9600,NONE,5,1 -> VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER

The full log is attached:

These kinds of problems that are reproducible, should be reported to the bug tracker. Either search for an appropriate bug, or open a new bug report where you'll attach your logs and other vital information.

It would also help if you can post the bug report number here so other can see the progress, add information, or see the final resolution.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
