The ENTER key fails to work when using a USB Serial Port in a VM. This behavior occurs under both Linux and Windows guest VM's. System: MacBook Pro Host OS: Mac OS X (10.4.11) Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac (Build 5608) Guest OS: RHEL 5.1 (2.6.18-53.el5) using minicom Windows XP 2003 Service Pack 3 using hyperterminal The serial port settings are 57600 8N1 which successfully shows the output of the target device while booting. In addition, while using minicom under Linux, the ^A F sequence (send break) elicits a syslog message from the target device. Seems as though the communications are configured correctly. Pressing the ENTER key fails to register. The following tests have been conducted: Using the USB keyboard as-is (functions normally in the VM) Connecting the USB keyboard directly to the VM. Using the built in keyboard. Target device fully functional and responsive when connecting via physical host/serial port running Linux/minicom.
