[Qemu-devel] windbg and serial |

Hi,
I 've been trying to get windbg in one guest to debug a kernel in another guest
through an emulated serial port connection. There are several blog posts and
a few mails to this list and kvm/kvm-devel from people who claim to have made
this functionality to work, yet nothing seems to work for me with
latest qemu git.
What I 've tried:
Start the debuggee guest with -serial tcp:localhost:1234,server
Start the debugger guest with -serial tcp:localhost:1234
(The debuggee has the right options (/debugport, /baudrate) in its boot.ini.)
When the debuggee starts and after the connection of the sockets is done,
both guests start to boot and the debuggee stops in its boot menu. I
'm selecting
the "debug" menu option (to stop the countdown timer).
Then I wait until the debugger boots fully, start windbg, ask it to connect via
com1, baudrate=112500bps and when it says
"waiting to reconnect..." I 'm continuing the debuggee boot process.
At this point I would expect to see something like "Debugger
connection established'
in the debugger guest, yet nothing. It just continues waiting and
after a while windbg
just closes with an "unable to connect" message. At this point the
debuggee continues
boot normally.
I 've verified that the serial connection works by trying
hyperterminal on both guests
and observing each to be able to send/receive text to the other just fine.
The qemu versions tested were current git as of today and also with the patch in
http://damogran.de/blog/archives/14-WinDbg-and-QEMU.html
The guests are both winxp sp3 32-bit. The host is 64-bit (kernel/userland) but
hopefully this is not very relevant for qemu.
Has anyone else here managed to make this configuration
(guest XP debugging another guest XP through serial port) work?
I 'd be interested in any ideas on how to achieve that or debug the
problem further.
Thanks in advance,
Pantelis
