Hello,
My proxmox is 7.2.4. I has installed rs232 card and it's use pcie interface.I has enable iommu for pcie-passthrough.
The rs232 com port is connect modem.In my vm system has found rs232 card.But it's always can't found modem.
How to setup it?
 
afaik, you need to install/add manually peripheral. serial isn't hotplug.
Thanks a lot.
I has add serial 0 and 1 and add pcie to conf:

The vm host can found pcie rs232 com port.But it's can't found modem.
 
i think your problem is out of proxmox itself but linux in general ...
what is your modem model ?
 
Sorry,it's my problem.My rs232 linux can found it.Bit it's can't output to modem.Maybe is card break.
