Hi all,
I am running VirtualBox on Solaris 10 (X2200) and have a Win XP guest.
A windows program needs access to a serial port (actually a modem). I
tried the modem on the serial port of the X2200 first but it does not
even work under Solaris.
tip /dev/cua/a
gives my a connected butthen it hangs. The cabling is fine, I checked
that on a SunBlade 100!? :-(
Since this did not work I connected the modem to a Sun Ray which gives
me a /tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.00144f48853f/dev/term/a device. Then I
tried
tip /tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.00144f48853f/dev/term/a
connected
ATZ
OK
Works like a charm! OK, now into the VirtuaBox part. In the VirtualBox
application I click on serial ports, activate Port 1 and specify
Port Number: COM1
Port Mode: Host Device
Port Path:
/tmp/SUNWut/units/IEEE802.00144f48853f/dev/term/a
When I start the Virtual machine, I get
Failed to start the virtual machine Windows XP
Unknown error creating VM
VBox status code -2823 (VERR_PDM_DRIVER_NOT_FOUND).
Result Code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: |COnsole ...
here I am stuck. Looks so easy but does not work! :-(
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
Andreas
BTW: I am using VirtualBox 2.0.2 for my tests. If someone can confirm
that the above is a known problem and fixed in newer versions I would
consider to upgrade.
