Error while starting zigbee-herdsman - Conbee II with KVM (Intel NUC i5, host Oracle Linux 9, guest HAOS)

Configuration:

  • Intel NUC i5
  • Host OS Oracle Linux 9
  • Virtualization KVM - QEMU emulator version 7.2.0 (qemu-kvm-7.2.0-14.el9_2)
  • Guest HAOS haos_ova-10.1.qcow2
  • Conbee II stick connected to USB2.0

First step - add guest virtual machine:
virt-install --name haos --description “Home Assistant OS” --os-variant=generic --ram=16384 --vcpus=2 --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/haos_ova-10.1.qcow2,bus=sata --graphics none --boot uefi

Try to pass Conbee II to guest from KVM-cockpit / xml:

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'>
      <source>
        <vendor id='0x1cf1'/>
        <product id='0x0030'/>
      </source>
      <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/>
    </hostdev>

Cannot start zigbee2mqtt, error in log:

I’ve add to xml guest config:

    <serial type="dev">
      <source path="/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DEXXXXXXX-if00"/>
      <target type="usb-serial" port="1">
        <model name="usb-serial"/>
      </target>
      <address type="usb" bus="0" port="4"/>
    </serial>

Guest fails starting:
usb-serial is not supported in this QEMU binary

I’m running out of ideas where the problem could be :frowning:
