New Mac Pro version of Parallels Desktop causing kernel panics I have installed the new build of Parallels Desktop and have had two kernel panics in the process of trying to set up new virtual machines (Windows XP). Machine is running 10.4.7 with 3GB of RAM. The only thing that might be a bit off is the fact that I'm putting the VM on a different hard drive than the one Parallels resides on. Kernel panic happened when Windows XP was about to start installing. Dumps from the KPs: Code:

Here too. It's very frustrating. We have standardized on Parallels in our company, but I'm the only one thus far wiiht a Mac Pro (trying) to run it. I have tried 5x to install the program and Win XP Pro and I get Kernel Panic all the time now, right after Windows says the software was completed, take the disk out of drive A. Parallels, HELP :D |

Your CPU supports Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) but it is currently disabled (locked by firmware). Virtual machine will be started without VT-x support (in software virtualization mode). And can't get past it. Help! |

I'm experiencing the KP's from Parallels once Windows boots as well. It gets to the log in screen and kaboom. I'm using a Mac Pro, 3GB, 1TB RAID (Stripe) and Win2K is the OS. Hopefully the patch won't take too long.

Same thing on my MacPro 2,66 GHz. Kernel Panic during install Windows XP Pro SP2. I also got the message about the missing VT-x support. But I know, that if you go with your mac to sleeping mode and wake it up again, VT-x support will be enabled. Regards Thomas |

For those of you who are getting the kernel panics, did you previously have Parallels running using the temporary fix or are you using fresh installs of Parallels? I would like to install it on my Mac Pro, but if it's not ready, I'd rather not go through the hassle. |

I installed the latest build of Parallels Desktop over the previous one. I also just got a fatal error; at least it's not a KP this time. |

If you have more than 3.5 gigs of ram I would wait. KP after every os reboot I try. Almost like the vm ties to some hardware that is not happy. |

i have a fresh 2.66 ghz mac pro that has never had parallels installed or attempted any of the workaround fixes for the previous versions. at lunch today i attempted (excitedly) to install xp sp2. my mac pro has 8gb of ram so i performed the "maxmem" fix and began the install. i use a stripped ( 0 ) raid as my boot volume (might be the issue) which then is the default volume for the virtual drive to sit on. when i install xp sp2 i consistantly get to the point of formating the drive either in ntfs full or ntfs quick. either formatting option i choose instantly causes a kernal panic. at this point i had to return to work for the afternoon and had to stop playing. when i get home this evening i am going to locate the program, virtual drive, and all other related paralells items on my ATA drive i installed under the superdrive. this may fix my problem and i will repost after i have tried it. |

I've got a RAID 0 boot and vm drive as well. I can format the guest os, but I'm still getting kernel panics - sometimes after hitting CTRL/ALT to release the mouse, sometimes just trying to click on anything. I don't think it's the RAID. Overall it's still very buggy and not any real improvement for me - still can't run a VM. QEMU will run a VM for me, but I can't make it a member of a domain since they don't have bridged network....back to the full out Dell box until Parallels really gets fixed. |

glberen you are booting from a raid 0 also? along with your vm being there too? and you are able to fully format the drives? like i stated mine panics every time i envoke the format process. have you tried to load to a different drive yet? all of this aside i will be looking foward to the vmware solution. i think that given their years of experience they may be able to provide a more stable "out-of-the-box" program. i will still update this evening when i have the chance to get back at it. |

I get all these freakin issues! It's frustrating. I keep having to restart my computer. I actually kept trying over and over and fresh installing Parallels, and I finally got Win XP installed, and I was in XP workin around it and everything and then it panicked again and I restarted. When I got back it wouldn't start I get that other message people are getting about missing VT-x support. Specs: 2.66, 2GB Ram, ATI x1900 512MB Card, 250 GB HD, Mac Pro |

spoke too soon! I spoke too soon in the other thread...I'm having problems as well tho no KP's. After the XP install the restart of XP gave me the grey screen "you need to restart your machine" error. once i restarted and tried to run my VM i get an "unable to communicate with hypervisor!" error. tried everything i could think of...uninstalled parallels/re-installed, tried different VM configurations, nothing worked. thanks for the attempt parallels team! "rush a miracle man and what do you get??? bad miracles" B :( |

One wonders how much testing this "release candidate" received, given the issues being reported in the forum. |

in response to "how much testing".... like any? nothing but panics on my end. i am a serial number owner of parallels and i am disapointed to say the least. i was unable under any circumstances to get xp sp2 installed on my mac pro. kernel panic city baby.... i do feel sorry for the parallels team but still this is not aceptable. i could understand that perhaps some thing may not fully function but to not install at all? it's not like we don't know how to install it. personally i have parallels installed on my iMac 2.0 and my Macbook Pro but no dice on the mac pro. if it's acceptable to some users to have to throttle back their system memory, and apply this hack and the patch and what not... then all the more power to ya and i wish ya luck but i am not going to go through all of that this time around. if you think i am being harsh or unfair that is your opinion and your welcome to it. think about this experience in terms of other day to day things like say your car... would you accept this solution when it comes to the operation of your car. No... you would demand more and better support or your money back. i will be firing up the windows box until the parallels team can code this beast correctly or vmware comes and steals their customers away.... and i will the first in line. |
