Settings for com port on virtualbox 3.1???

[CraigAB]

Hi,

I have tried several settings, listed below. Does anyone know what the correct settings are??

Host: Win XP Pro SP2
Guset: Win XP Pro SP3
VirtualBox 3.1.0 r55467

Patched guest as per automated install.
run Vmmon.exe
Start Guest, selected “Debug”

Guest Serial port settings
Enabled
Port No: COM1
Mode: Raw File
Port/File PATH: \.pipekd_Win_XP_B

Windbg does not start automatically.

windebug “debugee not connected”

Mode: Host Pipe

windebug “debugee not connected”

Mode: Host Pipe

CREATE Pipe: CHECKED

windebug “debugee not connected”
Guest dialog box: VERR_PIPE_BUSY

Mode: Host device

windebug “debugee not connected”

Virtual machine shows dialog box: Starting Virtual Machine….
Does nothing else though!!

Regards,
Craig

You don’t need to setup VirtualBox COM port. Instead, just run VMMON.EXE and let it run WinDbg for you. If this still does not work, try VirtualBox 3.0.x (or recompile VBoxDD.dll using latest VirtualBox headers). I’ll check the binary compatibility with 3.1 slightly later.
