    Hi, i have recently updated to Leopard 10.5.2 from Tiger 10.4.8 where Parallels was running smoothly. Now i have a kernel_task that consumes too much % of CPU and can't work. I've uninstalled parallels and everything just works fine. Once I install it again all the problems start over.

    Any Help?

    I'm using Parallels Desktop 5592 Mac.

    Thanks

    Hallo,

    Do you have lines like "IPI stat: rescheduled X CPUs out of Y" in your system.log? If so, this a known problem and it will be fixed in the next update.

    Same problem on latest version

    I am running the latest version of Parallels Desktop (3.0 build 5608) and OSX (10.5.5). Kernel_Task will max out at 100% CPU until closing Parallels Tools. Parallels Tools also often locks up the Windows XP SP2 VM when trying to access shared folders or copy & paste.

    Antivirus

    Closing down AntiVirus on the Windows side does not appear to have resolved the situation. Nothing unusual in console.

    What antivirus you are using? for example AVG cannot be disabled even when you kill all processes in Task Manager
