try:
<serial type="dev">
<source path="/dev/ttyS0"/>
<target port="0"/>
</serial>
/dev/ttyS0 of host is connected to port 0 (linux: /dev/ttyS0) of guest.
try:
<serial type="dev">
<source path="/dev/ttyUSB0"/>
<target port="1"/>
</serial>
/dev/ttyUSB0 (usb -> serial adapter) is connected to port 1 (linux: /dev/ttyS1) of guest.
I works like this on a server of one of my customers.
Don't forget to restart libvirt-bin after changing xml file:
/etc/init.d/libvirt-bin stop -> start , then start your guest.
