Has anyone else had this problem? I delete the COM and LPT ports in the guest and shut it down. Then I edit its settings and remove the ports. Power up the guest and I get the "New Hardware Found" msgs. No matter how I go about deleting the COM/LPT ports, they keep coming back. Funny thing is that they are not listed under the guest's settings. I don't understand how hardware that is not supposed to be presented to a guest can be detected by a guest.
VI3.02
Here's the serial lines from the vmx file:
serial0.present = "false"
serial0.yieldOnMsrRead = "true"
serial0.fileName = "/dev/ttyS0"
serial1.present = "false"
serial1.yieldOnMsrRead = "true"
serial1.fileName = "/dev/ttyS1"
