[Qemu-devel] [Bug 946043] [NEW] Serial Named Pipe Unrecognized Windows 7

[gentry]

Public bug reported:

I created a named pipe serial hardware and supplied '/tmp/debug' which I
created using mkfifo

This is the snippet from ps -aux
-chardev pipe,id=charserial0,path=/tmp/debug -device 
isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0

address@hidden:~$ ls -al /tmp/debug*
prwxrwxrwx 1 jgp jgp 0 2012-03-03 18:40 /tmp/debug
prwxrwxrwx 1 jgp jgp 0 2012-03-03 18:40 /tmp/debug.in

However inside the Windows 7 guest (even after a restart) nothing is
recognized. Even after going through the add legacy hardware motions
it's still not picked up.
