Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I thought I posted, but don't see it anywhere.
I had the serial connection working before, but I screwed up the VM and had to reinstall everything. I am trying to use pyserial (Python serial module) from my Windows XP guest os. This was working in my old install. Now I am getting this message from Python:
SerialException: could not open port COM1: (2, 'CreateFile', 'The system cannot
find the file specified.')
How do I trouble shoot a serial connection? Any idea why the guest wouldn't be able to connect to it?
Here is the relevant part of the Machine xml file:
<UART>
<Port slot="0" enabled="true" IOBase="0x3f8" IRQ="4" hostMode="HostDevice" path="/dev/ttyS0"/>
<Port slot="1" enabled="false" IOBase="0x3f8" IRQ="4" hostMode="Disconnected"/>
</UART>
Thanks,
Ryan
