Re: [Qemu-discuss] Virtioconsole problem

Thanks a lot for your help!

I am not sure regarding the command line, as I took it from the page. 
The intension was to open two consoles (hvc0 and hvc1), one for terminal 
and one for remote gdb debug.
It is important to me to use the virtio-serial (multiport) as I need to 
understand its mechanism.
If I understand correctly the right command is:

./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -no-acpi -m 500 fedora17.img -device
virtio-serial -chardev socket,path=/tmp/foo,server,nowait,id=foo -chardev
socket,path=/tmp/bar,server,nowait,id=bar -device
virtconsole,chardev=foo,name=org.fedoraproject.console.foo -device
virtconsole,chardev=bar,name=org.fedoraproject.console.foo


Does "virtconsole" opens virtio device?

Thanks again for this great help.
