FYI for the list. I haven't looked at this yet.

Hi Matthew,
I want to create a virtio vm channel in my guest. So I add the followiong to my guest xml file: <channel type='pty'> <target type='virtio' name='org.linux-kvm.port.0'/> </channel>
Jianlin,
While I wrote the libvirt->vmchannel glue, I'm not actually that familiar with vmchannel itself. I've cc'd Amit, who hopefully might recognise this problem and tell me how to fix it ;)
Amit,
Any idea what's going on here?
Yes:
Then I try to start the guest: # virsh start winxp error: Failed to start domain winxp error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/4 char device redirected to /dev/pts/5 qemu-kvm: -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,max_ports=0,vectors=0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5: Device 'virtio-serial-pci' could not be initialized
With max_ports=0, the virtio-serial device doesn't get created and hence this error. Amit
