Named pipe option for adding Serial Port missing posted: May 31, 2009 3:47 PM

Hi all,

I'm trying to add a serial port as a named pipe for a kernel debuging setup, but this option is missing (see attached screenshot). There are however options to add the serial port as socket/file.

The host is 64 bit Fedora 10 running 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.x86_64. Workstation is 6.5.2 build-156735. I found that the named pipe option will be missing irrespective of the OS type of the guest.

Can anyone tell me why I'm missing this option and how to get it enabled?

Many thanks,
