Hi,
I've enabled qemu-guest-agent for a VM (qm set 110 -agent 1).
When the guest is centos6, I can properly find /dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.0.
But when the guest is either centos5 32bit or debian6 32bit (these are the OSes I've checked so far), I cannot find the device in /dev.
The command 'lspci' displays "00:08.0 Communication controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio console".
I'm not sure if there is a problem with the driver or it's just mapped with other names in /dev.


Does anyone have any idea about this?

Thanks

Can you try on Debian 7.1 ? Debian 6 kernel is very old.... (2.6.32 deb).

I'm trying debian 7.1 now.
However, I need it to work for older kernels too, if it's possible.
